Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

³⁰ The king said, ‘Move aside and stand here.’ So he stood to one side.

³¹ Just then the Cushite came and said, ‘May my lord the king hear the good news: The Lord has vindicated you today by freeing you from all who rise against you! ’

³² The king asked the Cushite, ‘Is the young man Absalom all right? ’

The Cushite replied, ‘I wish that the enemies of my lord the king, along with all who rise up against you with evil intent, would become like that young man.’^(A)
