10:018:024 And David sat between the two gates:  and the watchman went up
           to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his
           eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.

10:018:025 And the watchman cried, and told the king.  And the king said,
           If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth.  And he came
           apace, and drew near.

10:018:026 And the watchman saw another man running:  and the watchman
           called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running
           alone.  And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.

10:018:027 And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost
           is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.  And the king
           said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.

10:018:028 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.

10:018:029 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.

10:018:030 And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here.  And he
           turned aside, and stood still.

10:018:031 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the
           king:  for the lord hath avenged thee this day of all them that
           rose up against thee.

10:018:032 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? 
           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.

10:018:033 And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over
           the gate, and wept:  and as he went, thus he said, O my son
           Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for
           thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!

10:019:001 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth
           for Absalom.

10:019:002 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the
           people:  for the people heard say that day how the king was
           grieved for his son.

10:019:003 And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as
           people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

10:019:004 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud
           voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

10:019:005 And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast
           shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day
           have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy
           daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy
           concubines;
