他又说，无论怎样，我要跑去。约押说，你跑去吧。亚希玛斯就从平原往前跑，跑过古示人去了。
But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
守望的人说，我看前头人的跑法，好像撒督的儿子亚希玛斯的跑法一样。王说，他是个好人，必是报好信息。
And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
王问说，少年人押沙龙平安不平安。亚希玛斯回答说，约押打发王的仆人，那时仆人听见众民大声喧哗，却不知道是什么事。
And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.
古示人也来到，说，有信息报给我主我王。耶和华今日向一切兴起攻击你的人给你报仇了。
And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
亚哈将他的家宰俄巴底召了来。俄巴底甚是敬畏耶和华，
And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
亚哈对俄巴底说，我们走遍这地，到一切水泉旁和一切溪边，或者找得着青草，可以救活骡马，免得绝了牲畜。
And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
我指着永生耶和华你的神起誓，无论哪一邦哪一国，我主都打发人去找你。若说你没有在那里，就必使那邦那国的人起誓说，实在是找不着你。
As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
现在你说，要去告诉你主人说，以利亚在这里。
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
于是俄巴底去迎着亚哈，告诉他。亚哈就去迎着以利亚。
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
亚哈就差遣人招聚以色列众人和先知都上迦密山。
So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
