Context — David Mourns for Absalom
17They took Absalom, cast him into a large pit in the forest, and piled a huge mound of stones over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled, each to his home.
18During his lifetime, Absalom had set up for himself a pillar in the King’s Valley, for he had said, “I have no son to preserve the memory of my name.” So he gave the pillar his name, and to this day it is called Absalom’s Monument.
19Then Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and tell the king the good news that the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”
20But Joab replied, “You are not the man to take good news today. You may do it another day, but you must not do so today, because the king’s son is dead.” 21So Joab said to a Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen.” The Cushite bowed to Joab and took off running.Cross References

2 Samuel 18:19 Summary
This verse tells us that Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, wanted to run and tell King David the good news that the Lord had avenged him of his enemies, which means God had helped David win the battle against his son Absalom. Ahimaaz was excited to share this news because he knew it was a big deal and he wanted to be the one to tell the king. This reminds us that God is always working on our behalf, just like He did for David, and we can trust in His love and sovereignty, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28. By trusting in God's sovereignty, we can have peace and confidence, just like David did, and we can share the good news of God's love with others, just like Ahimaaz did.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Ahimaaz want to run and tell King David the news?
Ahimaaz wanted to share the good news with King David because he believed it was a victory from the Lord, as stated in 2 Samuel 18:19, and he wanted to be the one to tell the king that the Lord had avenged him of his enemies, similar to how messengers were sent to David in 1 Samuel 31:9 to inform him of Saul's death.
What is the significance of the phrase 'the LORD has avenged him of his enemies'?
The phrase 'the LORD has avenged him of his enemies' signifies God's intervention and justice, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:41 and Psalm 94:1, where God is described as a God of vengeance, and it shows that David's victory is not just a human achievement but a divine act.
How does this verse relate to the overall story of David and Absalom?
This verse is a pivotal moment in the story of David and Absalom, as it marks the end of Absalom's rebellion and the beginning of David's restoration, as foretold in 2 Samuel 15:6 and 2 Samuel 17:14, and it highlights David's trust in the Lord's sovereignty, as expressed in Psalm 37:3-7.
What can we learn from Ahimaaz's enthusiasm to share the news?
Ahimaaz's enthusiasm teaches us the importance of sharing the good news of God's work in our lives, as seen in Psalm 96:2-3 and Matthew 28:19-20, and it reminds us to be faithful messengers of God's love and redemption, just like the apostles in Acts 4:20.
Reflection Questions
- What are some times in my life when I have seen God avenge me or bring justice, and how can I give Him thanks and praise for those moments?
- How can I, like Ahimaaz, be a faithful messenger of God's love and redemption to those around me, and what are some ways I can share the good news with others?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's sovereignty, just like David did, and how can I surrender those areas to Him today?
- What can I learn from Ahimaaz's enthusiasm and eagerness to share the news, and how can I apply that same enthusiasm to my own walk with God?
