And the king said unto the Cushite, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And the Cushite answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise up against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.

And the king said to the Cushite, Is the young man Absalom safe? And the Cushite said in answer, May all the king's haters and those who do evil against the king, be as that young man is!

Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς τον Χουσει, Υγιαινει ο νεος, ο Αβεσσαλωμ; Και απεκριθη ο Χουσει, ειθε να γεινωσιν ως ο νεος εκεινος οι εχθροι του κυριου μου του βασιλεως, και παντες οι επανισταμενοι επι σε δια κακον.

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.
