2 Samuel 14:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:12

Then the woman said, let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak
[one] word unto my Lord the king
Having gained her point, and gotten a decree from him confirmed by an oath, that her son though he had killed his brother should not die; she proceeds to accommodate the parable, and apply it to the case of Absalom, and improve it in his favour:

and he said, say on;
gave her leave to say what she had further to observe to him; see ( Luke 7:40 ) .

2 Samuel 14:12 In-Context

10 et ait rex qui contradixerit tibi adduc eum ad me et ultra non addet ut tangat te

11 quae ait recordetur rex Domini Dei sui ut non multiplicentur proximi sanguinis ad ulciscendum et nequaquam interficient filium meum qui ait vivit Dominus quia non cadet de capillis filii tui super terram

12 dixit ergo mulier loquatur ancilla tua ad dominum meum regem verbum et ait loquere

13 dixitque mulier quare cogitasti istiusmodi rem contra populum Dei et locutus est rex verbum istud ut peccet et non reducat eiectum suum

14 omnes morimur et quasi aquae delabimur in terram quae non revertuntur nec vult perire Deus animam sed retractat cogitans ne penitus pereat qui abiectus est
