Gill's Notes on the Bible
And, behold, Cushi came,.... A little after:
and Cushi said, tidings, my lord the king; news is sent and brought by me, and good news it is:
for the Lord hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee; they are either killed or dispersed; there is an entire victory over them, and deliverance from them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Tidings ... - Rather, “Let my lord the king receive the good tidings.”
