Joab sends the Cushite to the king, and Ahimaaz the son of Zadok outruns the Cushite

요압이 구스 사람을 왕께 보내고 사독의 아들 아히마아스가 구스 사람보다 앞섬

2 Samuel 18:19–23: then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok says, “Let me now run and carry the king news, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.” Joab says to him, “You must not be the bearer of news today, but you must carry news another day. But today you must carry no news, because the king’s son is dead.” Then Joab says to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen!” The Cushite bows himself to Joab, and runs. Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok says yet again to Joab, “But come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite.” Joab says, “Why do you want to run, my son, since you will have no reward for the news?” “But come what may,” he says, “I will run.” He says to him, “Run!” Then Ahimaaz runs by the way of the Plain, and outruns the Cushite. At 18:23 the Korean Revised Version names Joab as the one who says it (요압이 가로되 그리하라), and has Ahimaaz run 들길로, by the field road.
