ויאמר לו יואב לא איש בשרה אתה היום הזה ובשרת ביום אחר והיום הזה לא תבשר כי על (כן) בן המלך מת
וַיֹּ֧אמֶר לֹ֣ו יוֹאָ֗ב לֹא֩ אִ֨ישׁ בְּשֹׂרָ֤ה אַתָּה֙ הַיֹּ֣ום הַזֶּ֔ה וּבִשַּׂרְתָּ֖ בְּיֹ֣ום אַחֵ֑ר וְהַיֹּ֤ום הַזֶּה֙ לֹ֣א תְבַשֵּׂ֔ר כִּֽי־*עַל **עַל־**כֵּ֥ן בֶּן־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ מֵֽת ׃
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יוֹאָב לֹא אִישׁ בְּשֹׂרָה אַתָּה הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וּבִשַּׂרְתָּ בְּיוֹם אַחֵר וְהַיּוֹם הַזֶּה לֹא תְבַשֵּׂר כִּֽי־ עַל־כֵּן עַל־| בֶּן־הַמֶּלֶךְ מֵֽת ׃

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Joab said unto him, thou shall not bear tidings this day,.... Because Joab knew the tidings of Absalom's death would not be acceptable to the king; and Ahimaaz being a good man, and the son of a priest, for whom Joab had a respect, he would not send the tidings by him, which he was sensible would not recommend him to the king:
but thou shalt bear tidings another day; when any salvation is wrought, or victory obtained, the tidings of which will be welcome:
but this day thou shall bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead; and thou must carry the news concerning his death, which it is not proper thou shouldest, being a priest, nor will it be to thine advantage.
