Der König aber fragte den Kuschiten: Geht es auch dem Jüngling Absalom wohl? Der Kuschite sprach: Wie dem Jüngling möge es allen Feinden meines Herrn, des Königs, und allen ergehen, die sich wider dich auflehnen, Böses zu tun!
Und der König sprach zu dem Kuschiten: Geht es dem Jüngling, dem Absalom, wohl? Und der Kuschit sprach: Wie dem Jüngling, so möge es den Feinden des Königs, meines Herrn, ergehen und allen, die wider dich aufgestanden sind zum Bösen!
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
The enemies: Thus Cushi obliquely and slowly informs David of the death of his son Absalom. Judges 5:31, Psalms 68:1, Psalms 68:2, Daniel 4:19
Reciprocal: Genesis 37:14 - see whether it be well with 1 Samuel 25:26 - now let Job 27:7 - General Psalms 109:20 - Let this
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king said unto Cushi, is the young man Absalom safe?.... The same question that was put to Ahimaaz, 2 Samuel 18:29; which shows what lay nearest his heart, and was uppermost in his mind,
and Cushi answered, the enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do [thee] hurt, be as [that] young man [is], which was tacitly saying he was dead, and so David understood it; and he expressed it in such a manner, that David could not be displeased with the messenger; though the message was grievous to him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 18:32. Is the young man Absalom safe? — This was the utmost of his solicitude, and it well merited the reproof which Joab gave him, 2 Samuel 19:5.
