19 Achimaats, fils de Tsadok, dit: Laisse-moi courir, et porter au roi la bonne nouvelle que l’Éternel lui a rendu justice en le délivrant de la main de ses ennemis.

20 Joab lui dit: Ce n’est pas toi qui dois porter aujourd’hui les nouvelles; tu les porteras un autre jour, mais non aujourd’hui, puisque le fils du roi est mort.

21 Et Joab dit à Cuschi: Va, et annonce au roi ce que tu as vu. Cuschi se prosterna devant Joab, et courut.

22 Achimaats, fils de Tsadok, dit encore à Joab: Quoi qu’il arrive, laisse-moi courir après Cuschi. Et Joab dit: Pourquoi veux-tu courir, mon fils? Ce n’est pas un message qui te sera profitable.

23 Quoi qu’il arrive, je veux courir, reprit Achimaats. Et Joab lui dit: Cours! Achimaats courut par le chemin de la plaine, et il devança Cuschi.
