2 Samuel 18:28

28 Ahimaas le gritó al rey:
—¡Todo está bien!
Se inclinó delante del rey rostro en tierra y dijo:
—Alabado sea el Señor
su Dios, quien ha entregado a los rebeldes que se atrevieron a hacerle frente a mi señor el rey.

2 Samuel 18:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 18:28

And Ahimaaz called and said unto the king
As soon as he came so near as to be heard by him, before he came up to him, he said with a loud voice:

all is well;
the king's army has had success, beat the rebels, and obtained a complete victory: or "peace" ^F5; for it is but one word in the original, which signifies all happiness and prosperity, and this he wished the king; and so it is the same as if he had said, God save the king, may all happiness attend him:

and he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king;
when he came nearer to him, not only in reverence of him, but in thankfulness to God:

and said, blessed [be] the Lord thy God, which hath delivered up the
men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king;
in which he ascribes the victory, not to Joab and his army, but to the Lord, to whom he gives thanks; and this agreeably to his character as a good man, and a priest of the Lord.

2 Samuel 18:28 In-Context

26 el centinela vio que otro hombre corría hacia ellos. Gritó hacia abajo:
—¡Allí viene otro!
El rey respondió:
—También trae noticias.

27 —El primer hombre corre como Ahimaas, hijo de Sadoc —dijo el centinela.
—Él es un buen hombre y trae buenas noticias —respondió el rey.

28 Ahimaas le gritó al rey:
—¡Todo está bien!
Se inclinó delante del rey rostro en tierra y dijo:
—Alabado sea el Señor
su Dios, quien ha entregado a los rebeldes que se atrevieron a hacerle frente a mi señor el rey.

29 —¿Qué me dices del joven Absalón? —preguntó el rey—. ¿Está bien?
—Cuando Joab me dijo que viniera, había una gran conmoción —contestó Ahimaas—, pero no supe lo que pasaba.

30 —Espera aquí —le dijo el rey.
Y Ahimaas se hizo a un lado.
