2 Samuel 18:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ Now David sat between the two gates. And the watchman went to the top of the gate, upon the wall, and lifted up his eyes and saw. And behold, a man came running alone.

²⁵ And the watchman cried and told the king. And the king said, “If he is alone, he brings news.” And he came quickly and drew near.

²⁶ And the watchman saw another man running. And the watchman called to the potter, and said, “Behold, a man runs alone!” And the king said, “He also brings news.”
