2 Samuel 14:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:15

Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my
lord the king
Of the case of Absalom, under a feigned one of hers:

[it is] because the people have made me afraid;
having heard of their whisperings, murmurings, and uneasiness among them, because Absalom was not sent for home, fearing there would be an insurrection in the nation, or an invasion of it by Absalom at the request of his friends; in which he might be supported by the king of Geshur; or however that disputes would arise about the succession, at the death of David; on these accounts she determined to speak to the king, and him them to him in the manner she had done; though some understand this of the discouragement the people laid her under, telling her the king would not hear her; nevertheless she was resolved to make trial:

and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be the
king will perform the request of his handmaid;
not only with respect to her own son, as feigned; but with respect to Absalom, the grand thing in view.

2 Samuel 14:15 In-Context

13 Ella contestó:
—¿Por qué no hace por el pueblo de Dios lo mismo que prometió hacer por mí? Se ha declarado culpable a sí mismo al tomar esta decisión, porque ha rehusado traer a casa a su propio hijo desterrado.

14 Todos moriremos algún día. Nuestra vida es como agua derramada en el suelo, la cual no se puede volver a juntar. Pero Dios no arrasa con nuestra vida, sino que idea la manera de traernos de regreso cuando hemos estado separados de él.

15 »He venido a rogarle a mi señor el rey porque la gente me ha amenazado. Me dije: “Tal vez el rey me escuche

16 y nos rescate de los que quieren quitarnos la herencia
que Dios nos dio.

17 Sí, mi señor el rey nos devolverá la tranquilidad de espíritu”. Sé que usted es como un ángel de Dios que puede distinguir entre lo bueno y lo malo. Que el Señor
su Dios esté con usted.
