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.

26 el centinela se dio cuenta de que otro hombre corría detrás de él, así que le anunció al guarda de la puerta:—¡Por ahí viene otro hombre corriendo solo!—Ese también debe de traer buenas noticias —dijo el rey.
27 El centinela añadió:—Me parece que el primero corre como Ajimaz hijo de Sadoc.—Es un buen hombre —comentó el rey—; seguro que trae buenas noticias.
28 Ajimaz llegó y saludó al rey postrándose rostro en tierra, y le dijo:—¡Bendito sea el SEÑOR, Dios de Su Majestad, pues nos ha entregado a los que se habían rebelado en contra suya!
29 —¿Y está bien el joven Absalón? —preguntó el rey.Ajimaz respondió:—En el momento en que tu siervo Joab me enviaba, vi que se armó un gran alboroto, pero no pude saber lo que pasaba.
30 —Pasa y quédate ahí —le dijo el rey.Ajimaz se hizo a un lado.
