2 Samuel 18:28 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

All is well, х shaalowm (H7965), peace] - the usual salutation among the Hebrews (Psalms 122:8). The delicacy of Ahimaaz's communication was made up by the unmistakeable plainness of Cushi's.
