- 守望的人又见一人跑来,就对守城门的人说,又有一人独自跑来。王说,这也必是报信的。
- 守望的人说,我看前头人的跑法,好像撒督的儿子亚希玛斯的跑法一样。王说,他是个好人,必是报好信息。
- 亚希玛斯向王呼叫说,平安了。就在王面前脸伏于地叩拜,说,耶和华你的神是应当称颂的,因他已将那举手攻击我主我王的人交给王了。
- 王问说,少年人押沙龙平安不平安。亚希玛斯回答说,约押打发王的仆人,那时仆人听见众民大声喧哗,却不知道是什么事。
- 王说,你退去,站在旁边。他就退去,站在旁边。

- Then the watchman saw another man running, and he called down to the gatekeeper, "Look, another man running alone!" The king said, "He must be bringing good news, too."
- The watchman said, "It seems to me that the first one runs like Ahimaaz son of Zadok." "He's a good man," the king said. "He comes with good news."
- Then Ahimaaz called out to the king, "All is well!" He bowed down before the king with his face to the ground and said, "Praise be to the LORD your God! He has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king."
- The king asked, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Ahimaaz answered, "I saw great confusion just as Joab was about to send the king's servant and me, your servant, but I don't know what it was."
- The king said, "Stand aside and wait here." So he stepped aside and stood there.
