2 Samuel 18:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 18:20

And Joab said unto him, thou shall not bear tidings this day,
&c.] Because Joab knew the tidings of Absalom's death would not be acceptable to the king; and Ahimaaz being a good man, and the son of a priest, for whom Joab had a respect, he would not send the tidings by him, which he was sensible would not recommend him to the king:

but thou shalt bear tidings another day;
when any salvation is wrought, or victory obtained, the tidings of which will be welcome:

but this day thou shall bear no tidings, because the king's son is
dead;
and thou must carry the news concerning his death, which it is not proper thou shouldest, being a priest, nor will it be to thine advantage.

2 Samuel 18:20 In-Context

18 Ora, Absalão, quando ainda vivia, tinha feito levantar para si a coluna que está no vale do rei; pois dizia: Nenhum filho tenho para conservar a memoria o meu nome. E deu o seu próprio nome �quela coluna, a qual até o dia de hoje se chama o Pilar de Absalão.
19 Então disse Aimaaz, filho de Zadoque: Deixa-me correr, e anunciarei ao rei que o Senhor o vingou a mão e seus inimigos.
20 Mas Joabe lhe disse: Tu não serás hoje o portador das novas; outro dia as levarás, mas hoje não darás a nova, porque é morto o filho do rei.
21 Disse, porém, Joabe ao cuchita: Vai tu, e dize ao rei o que viste. O cuchita se inclinou diante de Joabe, e saiu correndo.
22 Então prosseguiu Aimaaz, filho de Zadoque, e disse a Joabe: Seja o que for, deixa-me também correr após o cuchita. Respondeu Joabe: Para que agora correrias tu, meu filho, pois não receberias recompensa pelas novas?
