2 Samuel 18:20 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
18 E havia Absalão em sua vida tomado e levantado-se uma coluna, a qual está no vale do rei; porque havia dito: Eu não tenho filho que conserve a memória de meu nome. E chamou aquela coluna de seu nome: e assim se chamou o Lugar de Absalão, até hoje.
19 Então Aimaás filho de Zadoque disse: Correrei agora, e darei as novas ao rei de como o SENHOR defendeu sua causa da mão de seus inimigos?
20 E respondeu Joabe: Hoje não levarás as novas: as levarás outro dia: não darás hoje a nova, porque o filho do rei está morto.
21 E Joabe disse a um cuxita: Vai tu, e dize ao rei o que viste. E o cuxita fez reverência a Joabe, e correu.
22 Então Aimaás filho de Zadoque voltou a dizer a Joabe: Seja o que for, eu correrei agora atrás do cuxita. E Joabe disse: Filho meu, para que hás tu de escorrer, pois que não acharás prêmio pelas novas?
