2 Reyes 6:27

Listen to 2 Reyes 6:27
27 Y él respondió: Si el SEÑOR no te ayuda, ¿de dónde te podré ayudar? ¿De la era o del lagar?

2 Reyes 6:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:27

And he said, if the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help
thee?
&c.] Mistaking her meaning, as if she prayed him to relieve her hunger; the margin of our Bible is, "let not the Lord save thee"; and so some understand it as a wish that she might perish; and so Josephus {o}, that being wroth, he cursed her in the name of God:

out of the barn floor, or out of the winepress?
when neither of them afforded anything; no corn was to be had from the one, nor wine from the other, no, not for his own use, and therefore how could he help her out of either?

2 Reyes 6:27 In-Context

25 Y hubo gran hambre en Samaria; y he aquí, la sitiaron, hasta que la cabeza de un asno se vendía por ochenta siclos de plata, y la cuarta parte de un cab de estiércol de paloma por cinco siclos de plata.
26 Pasando el rey de Israel por la muralla, una mujer le gritó, diciendo: ¡Ayúdame, oh rey señor mío!
27 Y él respondió: Si el SEÑOR no te ayuda, ¿de dónde te podré ayudar? ¿De la era o del lagar?
28 Y el rey le dijo: ¿Qué te pasa? Y ella respondió: Esta mujer me dijo: "Da tu hijo para que lo comamos hoy, y mi hijo lo comeremos mañana."
29 Así que cocimos a mi hijo y nos lo comimos; y al día siguiente, le dije a ella: "Da tu hijo, para que lo comamos"; pero ella ha escondido a su hijo.
