Zadok, you are a good judge of things, so return to the city and don't cause any trouble. Take your son Ahimaaz with you. Abiathar and his son Jonathan will also go back.
Jonathan and Ahimaaz had been waiting at Rogel Spring because they did not want to be seen in Jerusalem. A servant girl went to the spring and gave them the message for David.
“I'll run no matter what!” Ahimaaz insisted. “All right then, run!” Joab said. Ahimaaz took the road through the Jordan Valley and outran the Ethiopian.
