2 Samuel 18:29-31

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁹ The king said, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent your servant,^[a] I saw a great tumult, but I do not know what it was.” ³⁰ The king said, “Turn aside, and stand here.” So he turned aside, and stood still.

³¹ Then the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, “Good tidings for my lord the king! For the Lord has vindicated you this day, delivering you from the power of all who rose up against you.”
