2 Samuel 18:21 in Context — 2 Samuel 18

19 Então Aimaás filho de Zadoque disse: Correrei agora, e darei as novas ao rei de como o SENHOR defendeu sua causa da mão de seus inimigos?

20 E respondeu Joabe: Hoje não levarás as novas: as levarás outro dia: não darás hoje a nova, porque o filho do rei está morto.

21 E Joabe disse a um cuxita: Vai tu, e dize ao rei o que viste. E o cuxita fez reverência a Joabe, e correu.

22 Então Aimaás filho de Zadoque voltou a dizer a Joabe: Seja o que for, eu correrei agora atrás do cuxita. E Joabe disse: Filho meu, para que hás tu de escorrer, pois que não acharás prêmio pelas novas?

23 Mas ele respondeu: Seja o que for, eu correrei. Então lhe disse: Corre. Correu, pois, Aimaás pelo caminho da planície, e passou diante do cuxita.
