2 Samuel 18:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ The lookout said, “I can see that the first man runs like Ahimaaz.”

“He's a good man,” the king said, “and he is bringing good news.”

²⁸ Ahimaaz called out a greeting to the king, threw himself down to the ground before him, and said, “Praise the Lord your God, who has given you victory over the men who rebelled against Your Majesty!”

²⁹ “Is the young man Absalom all right?” the king asked.

Ahimaaz answered, “Sir, when your officer Joab sent me, I saw a great commotion, but I couldn't tell what it was.”
