The king said also to Tzadok the Kohen, *Aren't you a seer? Return into the city in shalom, and your two sons with you, Achima`atz your son, and Yonatan the son of Avyatar.
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Achima`atz, Tzadok's son, and Yonatan, Avyatar's son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear.
Now Yonatan and Achima`atz were staying by `En-Rogel; and a female servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they might not be seen to come into the city.
Yo'av said to him, You shall not be the bearer of news this day, but you shall bear news another day; but this day you shall bear no news, because the king's son is dead.
