Sesudah itu berkatalah penjaga: "Aku lihat cara berlari orang yang pertama itu seperti cara berlari Ahimaas bin Zadok." Berkatalah raja: "Itu orang baik, ia datang membawa kabar yang baik."
Lalu kata orang pengawal itu: Adapun aku melihat peri jalan orang yang dahulu itu bagaikan jalan Ahimaaz bin Zadok. Maka titah baginda: Ialah orang baik; tentu ia datang membawa kabar baik.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the watchman said, me thinketh,.... Or, "I see" b; I perceive, so it appears to me:
that the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok; who it seems was well known, and famous for his manner of running and swiftness in it, having been employed in carrying expresses before from Jerusalem to David, and his army, wheresoever they were; and some of these persons thus employed were very swift; we read c of one that was a king's messenger, that went from Jerusalem to Tyre, on the first of Elul, or August, in a night and a day; which, according to Bunting d was an hundred miles: this watchman must be one of David's sentinels, who was well acquainted with the people about him:
and the king said, he [is] a good man, and cometh with good tidings; he knew he was a man of courage, and therefore was not one that fled, but must be a messenger; and that he was well affected to him, and would never be the messenger of evil tidings to him.
