27 Then the watchman said, 'The running of the closest one seems like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok.' And the king said, 'He is a good man, and he arrives bearing good news.'
28 Then, Ahimaaz, crying out, said to the king, 'Be well, O king.' And reverencing the king prone on the ground before him, he said, 'Blessed be the Lord your God, who has enclosed the men who had lifted up their hands against my lord the king.'
29 And the king said, 'Is there peace for the boy Absalom?' And Ahimaaz said: 'I saw a great tumult, O king, when your servant Joab sent me, your servant. I know nothing else.'
30 And the king said to him, 'Pass, and stand here.' And when he had passed and stood still,
31 Hushai appeared. And approaching, he said: 'I bear good news, my lord the king. For today the Lord has judged for you, from the hand of all who had risen up against you.'
