The watchman said, "I think the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok." And the king said, "He is a good man and comes with good news."

The king also said to Zadok the priest, "Are you not a seer?[5] Go back to the city in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
