2 Samuel 18:27-32

27The watchmanH6822 saidH559, “The first manH7223 appearsH7200 to meH589 to be runningH4794 like AhimaazH290 sonH1121 of ZadokH6659.”

“ThisH2088 is a goodH2896 manH376,” saidH559 the kingH4428. “He comesH935 withH413 goodH2896 newsH1309.”

28Then AhimaazH290 called outH7121 toH413 the kingH4428, “All is wellH7965!” And he bowedH7812 facedownH639H776 before the kingH4428.

He continuedH559, “BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 your GodH430! He has delivered upH5462 the menH582 whoH834 raisedH5375 their handsH3027 against my lordH113 the kingH4428.”

29The kingH4428 askedH559, “Is the young manH5288 AbsalomH53 all rightH7965?”

And AhimaazH290 repliedH559, “When JoabH3097 sentH7971 the king’sH4428 servantH5650 and your servantH5650, I sawH7200 a greatH1419 tumultH1995, but I do notH3808 knowH3045 what it wasH4100.”

30“Move asideH5437,” saidH559 the kingH4428, “and standH3320 hereH3541.”

So he steppedH5975 asideH5437.

31Just thenH2009 the CushiteH3569 cameH935 and saidH559H3569, “May my lordH113 the kingH4428H3588 hear the good newsH1319: TodayH3117 the LORDH3068 has avenged youH8199 ofH3027 allH3605 who rose upH6965 against youH5921!”

32The kingH4428H413 askedH559 the CushiteH3569, “Is the young manH5288 AbsalomH53 all rightH7965?”

And the CushiteH3569 repliedH559, “May the enemiesH341 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 and allH3605 whoH834 rise upH6965 against youH5921 to harm youH7451 beH1961 like that young manH5288.”
