2 Samuel 4:10 (100.00%)

when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.

When one told H5046 (8688) me, saying H559 (8800), Behold, Saul H7586 is dead H4191 (8804), thinking to have brought H5869 good tidings H1319 (8764), I took hold H270 (8799) of him, and slew H2026 (8799) him in Ziklag H6860, who [thought] that I would have given H5414 (8800) him a reward for his tidings H1309:

when one is declaring to me, saying, Lo, Saul is dead, and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him for the tidings.

Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said yet again to Joab, “But come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite.” Joab said, “Why do you want to run, my son, since you will have no reward for the news?”

And Ahimaaz son of Zadok addeth again, and saith unto Joab, ‘And whatever it be, let me run, I pray thee, I also, after the Cushite.’ And Joab saith, ‘Why is this-thou art running, my son, and for thee there are no tidings found?’-

Then they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”
