24. Now David was sitting between the two gates. The watchman on duty went up on the roof of the gate by the wall. He looked out and saw a man running alone.
25. The watchman called out and reported this to the king. The king said, "If he’s alone, it’s good news."The man got nearer and nearer,
26. and the watchman saw another man running and called down to the gatekeeper, "There’s another man running alone."The king said, "That one must be bringing good news too."
