Ahimaaz
Ahimaaz - brother of anger = irascible. (1.) The father Ahinoam, the wife\nof
Saul (1 Sam. 14:50).
(2.) The son and successor of
Zadok in the office of high\npriest (1 Chr. 6:8, 53). On the occasion of the revolt of\n
Absalom he remained faithful to
David, and was of service to him\nin conveying to him tidings of the proceedings of
Absalom in\n
Jerusalem (2 Sam. 15:24-37; 17:15-21). He was swift of foot, and\nwas the first to carry to
