2 Samuel 18:31
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. 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.
Cushi came as the second messenger to the king, bringing announcement of victory over the rebellion. His tidings were that the Lord had that day avenged David of all who had risen up against him, vindicating him by their defeat. Although the report declared his enemies overthrown, it brought David pain because Absalom was among the dead.
