ahimaaz - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Ahimaaz
  brother of anger = irascible. (1.) The father Ahinoam, the wife
  of Saul (1 Sam. 14:50).
  
    (2.) The son and successor of Zadok in the office of high
  priest (1 Chr. 6:8, 53). On the occasion of the revolt of
  Absalom he remained faithful to David, and was of service to him
  in conveying to him tidings of the proceedings of Absalom in
  Jerusalem (2 Sam. 15:24-37; 17:15-21). He was swift of foot, and
  was the first to carry to David tidings of the defeat of
  Absalom, although he refrained, from delicacy of feeling, from
  telling him of his death (2 Sam. 18:19-33).
