Ahimaaz (in Naphtali)
아히마아스 (납달리)
Named at 1 Kings 4:15: “Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife)”. The name stands among those that 4:7–19 gives as the twelve officers Solomon had over all Israel. The verse does not name his father. This collection keeps him apart from the Ahimaaz of 2 Samuel 18:19, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

19Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Let me now run and carry the king news, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”
20Joab said 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.”
21Then Joab said to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen!” The Cushite bowed himself to Joab, and ran.
22Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said yet again to Joab, “But come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite.” Joab said, “Why do you want to run, my son, since you will have no reward for the news?”
23“But come what may,” he said, “I will run.” He said to him, “Run!” Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Plain, and outran the Cushite.

2 Samuel 18:19 names Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, and 1 Kings 4:15 names Ahimaaz, in Naphtali, without naming his father. The text does not say whether the two are the same man. This collection records the Ahimaaz of 4:15 apart, and does not decide whether they are the same man.
