And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, Let me run now and carry the good news to the king, for the Lord has delivered him from the hand of his enemies.

And Joab said to him, You [shall] not [be] a messenger of good news this day; you shall bear them another day; but on this day you shall bear no news, because the king's son is dead.

And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, No, let me also run after Hushai. And Joab said, Why would you thus run, my son? Attend, you have no news for profit if you go.
