And the watchman said, It seems to me that 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 his news will be good.

And the salvation of that day was changed to sorrow for all the people: for it was said to the people, The king is in bitter grief for his son.
