Lucy(3) – Did Ahimaaz tell David that Absalom had died?

No. He was eager to tell him, but once he finally appeared before David, he chose not to. Perhaps this was wise considering the consequences that befell others who had eagerly reported deaths to David in previous chapters. 

Katie(6) – When David heard of Absalom’s death, was he:

a) happy

b) angry

c) sad

Ahimaaz and the Cushite

Bonus – Who were the other two deaths we read about during David’s reign where a messenger was eager to tell David the news, but were killed for it?

The death of Saul by the Amalakite and the death of Ishbosheth by Rechab and Baanah.
