2 Samuel 18:27-31
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 18

27The watchman said, 'I think the running form of the first one is like the running form of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.' And the king said, 'This is a good man, and he is coming with good news.'
28Then Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, 'All is well.' And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, 'Blessed is the Lord your God, who has turned over the men who raised their hands against my lord the king.' 29But the king said, 'Is it well with the young man Absalom?' And Ahimaaz answered, 'When Joab sent the king’s servant, and your servant, I saw a great commotion, but I did not know what it was.' 30Then the king said, 'Turn aside and stand here.' So he turned aside and stood still.
31Then behold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said, 'Let my lord the king receive good news, for the Lord has freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you.'
King James Version

Chapter 18

27And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
28And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the Lord thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
29And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. 30And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
31And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the Lord hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

Chapter 18

27The watchman said, "The way the first man runs looks to me like the way Ahimaaz son of Zadok runs." "This is a good man; he comes with good news," the king commented.
28Ahimaaz called out to the king, "All is well," and paid homage to the king with his face to the ground. He continued, "Blessed be the Lord your God! He delivered up the men who rebelled against my lord the king."
29The king asked, "Is the young man Absalom all right?" Ahimaaz replied, "When Joab sent the king’s servant and your servant, I saw a big disturbance, but I don’t know what it was."
30The king said, "Move aside and stand here." So he stood to one side.
31Just 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!"
New Living Translation

Chapter 18

27The first man runs like Ahimaaz son of Zadok,' the watchman said. 'He is a good man and comes with good news,' the king replied.
28Then Ahimaaz cried out to the king, 'Everything is all right!' He bowed before the king with his face to the ground and said, 'Praise to the Lord your God, who has handed over the rebels who dared to stand against my lord the king.'
29What about young Absalom?' the king demanded. 'Is he all right?' Ahimaaz replied, 'When Joab told me to come, there was a lot of commotion. But I didn’t know what was happening.'
30Wait here,' the king told him. So Ahimaaz stepped aside.
31Then the man from Ethiopia arrived and said, 'I have good news for my lord the king. Today the Lord has rescued you from all those who rebelled against you.'

27The watchman said, "It seems to me that the first one runs like Ahimaaz son of Zadok." "He’s a good man," the king said. "He comes with good news."
28Then Ahimaaz called out to the king, "All is well!" He bowed down before the king with his face to the ground and said, "Praise be to the Lord your God! He has delivered up those who lifted their hands against my lord the king."
29The king asked, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Ahimaaz answered, "I saw great confusion just as Joab was about to send the king’s servant and me, your servant, but I don’t know what it was."
30The king said, "Stand aside and wait here." So he stepped aside and stood there.
