2 Samuel 18:27-29
The Voice
Guard: 27 From the way he runs, I’d say the first one is Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son.
David: He is a good man, and he comes bearing good news.
28 And as Ahimaaz approached, he shouted to the king.
Ahimaaz: All is well!
He dropped to honor the king, his face to the ground.
Ahimaaz: Praise the Eternal One, your True God, who has given us victory over those who raised their hands against you, my lord and king.
David: 29 But how is my son Absalom?
Ahimaaz: When Joab sent me, your servant, there was still an uproar; but I don’t know what was happening.
2 Samuel 18:27-29
New International Version
27 The watchman said, “It seems to me that the first one runs like(A) Ahimaaz son of Zadok.”
“He’s a good man,” the king said. “He comes with good news.”
28 Then Ahimaaz called out to the king, “All is well!” He bowed down before the king with his face to the ground and said, “Praise be to the Lord your God! He has delivered up those who lifted their hands against my lord the king.”
29 The king asked, “Is the young man Absalom safe?”
Ahimaaz answered, “I saw great confusion just as Joab was about to send the king’s servant and me, your servant, but I don’t know what it was.”
