The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahim´a-az thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abi´athar.
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahim´a-az Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abi´athar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
Now Jonathan and Ahim´a-az stayed by En–ro´gel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
And Jo´ab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
