2 Samuel 18:29-31

International Standard Version

²⁹ “Are things fine^[a] with respect to the young man Absalom?” the king asked.

Ahimaaz answered, “I saw a lot of confusion about the time Joab was getting ready to send the king’s courier and me, your servant, but I’m not sure what was going on.”^[b]

³⁰ The king replied, “Stand here at attention and wait.” So he stepped to the side and stood there waiting.

³¹ Just then the Ethiopian arrived. He^[c] reported, “Good news, your majesty the king! The Lord has delivered you from the control of everyone who rebelled against you!”
