Exegesis
The verse begins with the narrative connector vayomer {וַיֹּאמֶר | wā-yo-mer} ‘and he said’, marking reported speech and shifting focus to the messenger. Achimaaz is identified by the construct phrase ben-Tzadok, establishing his lineage.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:19
And Ahimaaz, son of Zadok, said, “Let me run, please, and let me bring news to the king, for the LORD has vindicated him from the hand of his enemies .”
