27 The watchman said, |It seems to me that the first one runs like Ahimaaz, Zadok's son.| |He's a good man,| the king said. |He must be coming with good news.| 28 Then Ahimaaz came up to the king, greeted him, and bowed down in front of him. Ahimaaz said, |May the LORD your God be praised. He has handed over the men who rebelled against Your Majesty.| 29 |Is the young man Absalom alright?| the king asked. Ahimaaz answered, |I saw a lot of confusion when Joab sent me away, but I didn't know what it meant.| 30 |Step aside, and stand here,| the king said. He stepped aside and stood there. 31 Then the Sudanese messenger came. |Good news for Your Majesty!| he said. |Today the LORD has freed you from all who turned against you.| 2 Samuel 18:27-31, God's Word Translation.
