31 Da kom kusjitten og sa: "La min herre kongen motta gode nyheter, for Herren har rettferdiggjort deg denne dag ved å befri deg fra hånden til alle som reiste seg mot deg."

32 Og kongen sa til kusjitten: "Er det vel med den unge mannen Absalom?" Og kusjitten svarte: "Måtte min herre kongens fiender, og alle som reiser seg mot deg for ondt, være som den unge mannen."

Da ble kongen dypt rystet, og han gikk opp til kammeret over porten og gråt. Mens han gikk, sa han: "Å min sønn Absalom, min sønn, min sønn Absalom! Hadde jeg bare dødd i stedet for deg, Å Absalom, min sønn, min sønn!"
