2 Samuel 18:19-33

19Then saidH559 AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659, LetH4994 meH4994 nowH4994 runH7323, and bearH1319 the kingH4428 tidingsH1319, howH3588 that the LORDH3068 hath avenged him of his enemiesH341. 20And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt notH3808 be the bearerH1319 of tidingsH1319 this dayH3117, but thou shalt bearH1319 tidingsH1319 anotherH312 dayH3117: but this dayH3117 thou shalt bearH1319 noH3808 tidingsH1319, becauseH3588 the king’sH4428 sonH1121 is deadH4191. 21Then saidH559 JoabH3097 to the CushiteH3569, Go tellH5046 the kingH4428 whatH834 thou hast seenH7200. And the CushiteH3569 bowedH7812 himselfH7812 unto JoabH3097, and ranH7323. 22Then saidH559 AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 yet againH5750 to JoabH3097, But comeH1961 whatH4100 may, letH4994 meH413, I prayH4994 thee, also runH7323 afterH310 the CushiteH3569. And JoabH3097 saidH559, Wherefore wilt thou runH7323, my sonH1121, seeing that thou wilt have noH369 rewardH1309 for the tidings? 23But comeH1961 whatH4100 may, saidH559 he, I will runH7323. And he saidH559 unto him, RunH7323. Then AhimaazH290 ranH7323 by the wayH1870 of the PlainH3603, and overran the CushiteH3569. 24NowH2009 DavidH1732 satH3427 betweenH996 the twoH8147 gatesH8179: and the watchmanH6822 wentH413 upH5375 to the roofH1406 of the gateH8179 unto the wallH2346, and liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, beholdH2009, a manH376 runningH7323 aloneH905. 25And the watchmanH6822 criedH7121, and toldH5046 the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, IfH518 he be aloneH905, there is tidings in his mouthH6310. And he cameH1980 apace, and drewH1980 nearH7131. 26And the watchmanH6822 sawH7200 anotherH312 manH376 runningH7323: and the watchmanH6822 calledH7121 unto the porter, and saidH559, BeholdH2009, anotherH312 manH376 runningH7323 aloneH905. And the kingH4428 saidH559, He also bringeth tidingsH1319. 27And the watchmanH6822 saidH559, MeH413 thinketh the runningH4794 of the foremostH7223 is like the runningH4794 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, AllH376 is wellH7965. And he bowedH7812 himselfH7812 beforeH413 the kingH4428 with his faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whichH834 hath deliveredH5462 upH5375 the menH376 that liftedH5375 upH5375 their handH3027 againstH413 my lordH3068 the kingH4428. 29And the kingH4428 saidH559, Is it wellH7965 with the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53? And AhimaazH290 answeredH559, When JoabH3097 sentH7971 the king’sH4428 servantH5650, evenH3808 meH7971 thy servantH5650, I sawH7200 a greatH1419 tumultH1995, but I knewH3045 notH3808 whatH4100 it was. 30And the kingH4428 saidH559, TurnH5437 asideH5437, and standH5975 hereH3541. And he turnedH5437 asideH5437, and stoodH5975 stillH5975. 31And, beholdH2009, the CushiteH3569 cameH935; and the CushiteH3569 saidH559, TidingsH1319 for my lordH3068 the kingH4428: for the LORDH3068 hath avenged thee this dayH3117 of allH3605 them that roseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 thee. 32And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto the CushiteH3569, Is it wellH7965 with the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53? And the CushiteH3569 answeredH559, The enemiesH341 of my lordH113 the kingH4428, and allH3605 that riseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 thee to doH3605 thee hurt, be as that youngH5288 manH5288 is. 33And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
