Ahimaaz
Ahimaaz was son of the high priest Zadok.
He first appears in the reign of King David. During Absalom's revolt he remained faithful to David, and assisted him by giving him news about the proceedings of Absalom in Jerusalem. He was a swift runner, and was the first to bring David news of the defeat of Absalom, although he refrained from mentioning his death.
Under King Solomon, Ahimaaz's father Zadok became high priest. When Zadok died, Ahimaaz succeeded him in that position.
He may have been the same Ahimaaz who took as wife Basemath, one of Solomon's daughters. Subsequent kings of Israel, Ahaz, also married daughters of the high priest.
