TSNTyndale Study Notes:

18:28-29 Everything is all right! (Hebrew shalom): David then asked, “Is it shalom with the young Ab-shalom?” (What about young Absalom? . . . Is he all right?). Even though Absalom was David’s rival, he was also David’s son. David was more concerned about his son’s fate than the well-being of his fighting servants (19:5-6).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) a great disturbance

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said the=king well with_the,young_man to,Absalom and=he/it_said ʼAḩīmaˊaʦ saw the,tumult the,great to,sent DOM servant the=king Yōʼāⱱ/(Joab) and=DOM servant,your and=not I_know what )

This means that people were acting as though things were not right.
