2Sa 18:28 | MHM | STEP | v. 28-30 : Ahimaaz arrived, joyfully proclaiming peace and victory, giving God the glory for delivering David from his enemies (2 Samuel 18:28 ). However, when David asked about Absalom, Ahimaaz avoided giving a direct answer, saying he had seen a commotion but did not know the details (2 Samuel 18:29-30 ). This may have been to spare the king further grief or because he wanted Cushi to deliver the news fully.
