2 Samuel 18:27-32

27And the watchmanH6822 saidH559, I think the running of the foremost is like the running of AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659. And the kingH4428 saidH559, He is a goodH2896 manH376, and cometh with goodH2896 tidings.

28And AhimaazH290 calledH7121, and saidH559 unto the kingH4428, All is well. And he bowedH7812 himself before the kingH4428 with his faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah thy GodH430, who hath deliveredH5462 up the menH376 that liftedH5375 up their handH3027 against my lord the kingH4428. 29And the kingH4428 saidH559, Is it well with the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53? And AhimaazH290 answered, When JoabH3097 sentH7971 the king’sH4428 servantH5650, even me thy servantH5650, I sawH7200 a greatH1419 tumultH1995, but I knewH3045 not what it was. 30And the kingH4428 saidH559, TurnH5437 aside, and standH5975 here. And he turnedH5437 aside, and stoodH5975 stillH5975.

31And, behold, the CushiteH3569 cameH935; and the CushiteH3569 saidH559, Tidings for my lord the kingH4428; for Jehovah hath avenged thee this dayH3117 of all them that roseH6965 up against thee. 32And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto the CushiteH3569, Is it well with the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53? And the CushiteH3569 answered, The enemiesH341 of my lordH113 the kingH4428, and all that riseH6965 up against thee to do thee hurt, beH1961 as that youngH5288 manH5288 is.
