Ahimaaz and the Cushite come to David, who is sitting between the two gates

두 문 사이에 앉은 다윗에게 아히마아스와 구스 사람이 이르러 고함

2 Samuel 18:24–32: now David is sitting between the two gates; and the watchman goes up to the roof of the gate to the wall, and lifts up his eyes and looks, and, behold, a man running alone. The watchman shouts and tells the king. The king says, “If he is alone, there is news in his mouth.” He comes closer and closer. The watchman sees another man running; and the watchman calls to the gatekeeper and says, “Behold, a man running alone!” The king says, “He also brings news.” The watchman says, “I think the running of the first one is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.” The king says, “He is a good man, and comes with good news.” Ahimaaz calls, and says to the king, “All is well.” He bows himself before the king with his face to the earth, and says, “Blessed is the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king!” The king says, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” Ahimaaz answers, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, even me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I don’t know what it was.” The king says, “Come and stand here.” He comes and stands still. Behold, the Cushite comes. The Cushite says, “Good news for my lord the king, for the LORD has avenged you today of all those who rose up against you.” The king says to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” The Cushite answers, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you to do you harm, be as that young man is.” At 18:28 the Korean Revised Version reads Ahimaaz’s words as 평강하옵소서 and 왕의 하나님 여호와를 찬양하리로소이다.
