And 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.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 18 of 2 Samuel. When David receives the news, he first thanks God for the victory, but upon understanding that Absalom has died, he is devastated. His lament expresses a father’s love that does not disappear because of his son’s rebellion. David wishes he had died instead of Absalom. The scene concentrates the tragedy of his reign: the king has preserved the throne, but the military victory comes with a personal loss that reveals the human cost of rebellion within his own house.

Ahimaaz aber rief und sprach zum König: Friede! Und fiel nieder vor dem König auf sein Antlitz zur Erde und sprach: Gelobt sei der HERR, dein Gott, der die Leute, die ihre Hand wider meinen Herrn, den König, aufhoben, übergeben hat.
Entonces Ahimaas dijo en alta voz al rey: Paz. E inclinose a tierra delante del rey, y dijo: Bendito sea Jehová Dios tuyo, que ha entregado a los hombres que habían levantado sus manos contra mi señor el rey.
Ahimaas gritó al rey: «¡Paz!». Se postró ante el rey rostro en tierra y dijo: «Bendito sea Jehová tu Dios, que ha entregado a los hombres que levantaron la mano contra mi señor el rey».
Achimaats cria, et il dit au roi: Tout va bien! Il se prosterna devant le roi la face contre terre, et dit: Béni soit l'Eternel, ton Dieu, qui a livré les hommes qui levaient la main contre le roi mon seigneur!
Allora Ahimaas gridò, e disse al re: Bene stii. E, dopo essersi inchinato in terra davanti al re sopra la sua faccia, disse: Benedetto sia il Signore Iddio tuo, il quale ti ha dati nelle mani quegli uomini che aveano levate le mani loro contro al re, mio signore.
Gritou, pois, Aimaás, e disse ao rei: Paz. E inclinou-se ao rei com o rosto em terra, e disse: Bendito seja o SENHOR, que entregou os homens que levantaram a mão contra o rei meu senhor.
亞希瑪斯 向王呼叫說:「平安了!」他就臉伏於地向王叩拜,說:「耶和華-你的上帝是應當稱頌的,他已把些那舉手攻擊我主我王的人交出來了。」
