2 Samuel 18:28-30

Good News Translation

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.”

³⁰ “Stand over there,” the king told him; and he went over and stood there.
