2 Samuel 18:22

Det Norsk Bibelselskap

Men Akima'as, Sadoks sønn, tok atter til orde og sa til Joab: Det får gå som det vil, men la også mig få springe avsted efter kusitten! Joab sa: Hvorfor vil du endelig gjøre det, min sønn? Du har jo ikke noget gledelig budskap som du kunde få lønn for.

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.
