2 Samuel 20:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 20:16

Then cried a wise woman out of the city
And such an one as the woman of Tekoah, supposed by some to be the governess of the city; but whoever she was, she well deserved the character of a wise woman; her conduct in this affair shows it: she cried with a loud voice, upon the wall of the city, to Joab's men, who were underneath battering it,

hear, hear;
which she repeated to make them hear:

say, I pray you, unto Joab, come near hither, that I may speak with
thee;
tell your general I desire to speak with him; which was wisely done, to have nothing to say but to the general himself.

2 Samuel 20:16 In-Context

14 Então Sebá passou por todas as tribos de Israel até Abel e Bete-Maacá; e todos os beritas, ajuntando-se, também o seguiram.
15 Vieram, pois, e cercaram a Sebá em Abel de Bete-Maacá; e levantaram contra a cidade um montão, que se elevou defronte do muro; e todo o povo que estava com Joabe batia o muro para derrubá-lo.
16 Então uma mulher sábia gritou de dentro da cidade: Ouvi! ouvi! Dizei a Joabe: Chega-te cá, para que eu te fale.
17 Ele, pois, se chegou perto dela; e a mulher perguntou: Tu és Joabe? Respondeu ele: Sou. Ela lhe disse: Ouve as palavras de tua serva. Disse ele: Estou ouvindo.
18 Então falou ela, dizendo: Antigamente costumava-se dizer: Que se peça conselho em Abel; e era assim que se punha termo �s questões.
