Ahimaaz aber, der Sohn Zadoks, sprach abermal zu Joab: Wie wäre es, wenn ich doch dem Kuschiten nachliefe? Joab sprach: Was willst du laufen, mein Sohn? Dir wird kein Botenlohn zuteil!
Elberfelder Bibel (1905)
Da sprach Achimaaz, der Sohn Zadoks, wiederum zu Joab: Was auch geschehen möge, laß doch auch mich hinter dem Kuschiten herlaufen! Und Joab sprach: Warum willst du denn laufen, mein Sohn, da für dich keine einträgliche Botschaft da ist? -

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab,.... He could not be easy, even though a messenger was dispatched, but pressed Joab still:

but howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi; only permit me to go after him, though not as a messenger:

and Joab said, wherefore wilt thou run, my son? having a great affection for him, and concerned that he should take trouble on him to no purpose:

seeing thou hast no tidings ready; no news to carry, but what Cushi is gone with, and so can have no audience of the king, nor any reward from him.
