And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.

Verse 29 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.
