And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
Then Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, 'All is well!' He bowed down with his face to the ground before the king and said, 'Praise the LORD your God, who has defeated the men who rebelled against you, my lord the king.'
Ahimaaz is bringing King David good news that God has given him victory over the rebels who fought against him.
