Ahimaaz in Naphtali (he had married Basemath, a daughter of Solomon);
The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan.
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform King David, for they dared not be seen entering the city.
Then Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and tell the king the good news that the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”
“No matter what, I want to run!” he replied.“Then run!” Joab told him.So Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and outran the Cushite.
