2 Samuel 18:18-20
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 18

18Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a memorial stone, which is in the King’s Valley, for he said, 'I have no son to continue my name.' So he named the memorial stone after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
19Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, 'Please let me run and bring the king news that the Lord has freed him from the hand of his enemies!' 20But Joab said to him, 'You are not the man to bring news this day, but you shall bring news another day; however, you shall bring no news this day, because the king’s son is dead.'
King James Version

Chapter 18

18Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
19Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies. 20And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.

Chapter 18

18When he was alive, Absalom had taken a pillar and raised it up for himself in the King's Valley, since he thought, "I have no son to preserve the memory of my name." So he named the pillar after himself. It is still called Absalom's Monument today.
19Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, "Please let me run and tell the king the good news that the Lord has vindicated him by freeing him from his enemies."
20Joab replied to him, "You are not the man to take good news today. You may do it another day, but today you aren't taking good news, because the king's son is dead."
New Living Translation

Chapter 18

18During his lifetime, Absalom had built a monument to himself in the King’s Valley, for he said, 'I have no son to carry on my name.' He named the monument after himself, and it is known as Absalom’s Monument to this day.
19Then Zadok’s son Ahimaaz said, 'Let me run to the king with the good news that the Lord has rescued him from his enemies.'
20No,' Joab told him, 'it wouldn’t be good news to the king that his son is dead. You can be my messenger another time, but not today.'
English Standard Version
