2 Samuel 18:28-30

International Children’s Bible

²⁸ Then Ahimaaz called a greeting to the king. He bowed facedown on the ground to the king. He said, “Praise the Lord your God! The Lord has defeated the men who were against you, my king.”

²⁹ The king asked, “Is young Absalom all right?”

Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent me, I saw some great excitement. But I don’t know what it was.”

³⁰ Then the king said, “Step over here and wait.” So Ahimaaz stepped aside and stood there.
