2 Samuel 18:30-32

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³⁰ The king said, ‘Turn aside, and stand here.’ So he turned aside, and stood still.

³¹ Then the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, ‘Good tidings for my lord the king! For the Lord has vindicated you this day, delivering you from the power of all who rose up against you.’ ³² The king said to the Cushite, ‘Is it well with the young man Absalom?’ The Cushite answered, ‘May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up to do you harm, be like that young man.’
