2 Samuel 18:27-32

27The watchmanH6822 saidH559, “I 1thinkH7200 the runningH4794 formH4794 of the firstH7223 oneH7223 2is like the runningH4794 formH4794 of AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659.” And the kingH4428 saidH559, “3ThisH2088 is a goodH2896 manH376, and he is comingH935 with goodH2896 newsH1309.”

28Then AhimaazH290 calledH7121 outH7121 and saidH559 to the kingH4428, “4All is wellH7965.” And 5he prostratedH2331 himself before the kingH4428 with his faceH639 to the groundH776. And he saidH559, “6BlessedH1288 is the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 has turnedH5462 overH5462 the menH376 whoH834 raisedH5375 their handsH3027 against my lordH113 the kingH4428.” 29But the kingH4428 saidH559, “7Is it wellH7965 with the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53?” And AhimaazH290 answeredH559, “When JoabH3097 sentH7971 the king’sH4428 servantH5650, and your servantH5650, I sawH7200 a greatH1419 commotionH1995, but 8I did not knowH3045 whatH4100 it was.” 30Then the kingH4428 saidH559, “TurnH5437 asideH5437 and standH3320 hereH3541.” So he turnedH5437 asideH5437 and stoodH5975 stillH5975.

31Then beholdH2009, the CushiteH3569 arrivedH935, and the CushiteH3569 saidH559, “Let my lordH113 the kingH4428 receiveH1319 goodH1319 newsH1319, for 9the LordH3068 has 10freedH8199 you this dayH3117 from the handH3027 of allH3605 those who roseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 you.” 32Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to the CushiteH3569, “11Is it wellH7965 with the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53?” And the CushiteH3569 answeredH559, “12May the enemiesH340 of my lordH113 the kingH4428, and allH3605 whoH834 riseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 you for evilH7463, be like that youngH5288 manH5288!”
