And the watchman saw another man running, etc.] At a further distance: and the watchman called unto the porter; that kept the gate, under which the watchtower was: and said, behold, [another] man runneth alone; as the other, and has the same appearance of a messenger: and the king said, he also bringeth tidings; it being usual then, as now, to dispatch one messenger after another, as fresh accounts coming in made it necessary.
