2 Samuel 18:27-32
27The watchman said, “I 1think the running of the first one 2is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.” And the king said, “3This is a good man and comes with good news.”
28Ahimaaz called and said to the king, “4All is well.” And 5he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, “6Blessed is the Lord your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king.” 29The king said, “7Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but 8I did not know what it was.” 30Then the king said, “Turn aside and stand here.” So he turned aside and stood still.
31Behold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said, “Let my lord the king receive good news, for 9the Lord has 10freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you.” 32Then the king said to the Cushite, “11Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And the Cushite answered, “12Let the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be as that young man!”
