2 Samuel 18:27-29

Living Bible

²⁷ “The first man looks like Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok,” the watchman said.

“He is a good man and comes with good news,” the king replied.

²⁸ Then Ahimaaz cried out to the king, “All is well!” He bowed low with his face to the ground and said, “Blessed be the Lord your God who has destroyed the rebels who dared to stand against you.”

²⁹ “What of young Absalom?” the king demanded. “Is he all right?”

“When Joab told me to come, there was a lot of shouting; but I didn’t know what was happening,”^[a] Ahimaaz answered.
