‏ 2 Samuel 18:22-23

22 Ahimaaz the son of Zadok again spoke to Joab, “Whatever happens, let me go after the Cushite.” But Joab said, “Why is it that you want to go, my son? You have no good news that will bring you a reward.” 23 But he said, ^{▼▼tn The words “but he said” are not in the Hebrew text. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.} “Whatever happens, I want to go!” So Joab ^{▼▼tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} said to him, “Then go!” So Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Jordan plain, and he passed the Cushite.
