2 Samuel 14:17
FOOTNOTES:
F17 (hxnml) "ad requiem", Pagninus, Montanus; "ad tranquillitatem", Tigurine version; "ad quietem", Vatablus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.
Then thine handmaid said, the word of my lord the king shall
now be comfortable
Or, "for rest" F17; what will give ease and satisfaction not only to her, but to all the people of Israel, when they shall hear of the king's intention and resolution to bring back Absalom:
for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king;
as they are very wise, knowing, and understanding creatures, so was David:
to discern good and bad;
to hear both the one and the other, and to discern the difference between them, and choose and pursue what is right, as in all other things, so in the present case:
therefore the Lord thy God shall be with thee;
as to counsel and advise, so to assist in performance, and to prosper and succeed; the Targum is,
``the Word of the Lord thy God shall be for thine help.''
