He went to the king and delivered the messages carefully without hesitations about the wellbeing of the king's son, when asked by the king, he then replied with wisdom and cautiously said my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. And king David was much moved by the message of the Ethiopian Cushi than the message of the first messenger, and he went to his chamber and wept because he knew that his son was dead (2 Samuel 18:7-33).
