2 Samuel 14:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:21

And the king said unto Joab
Who was present, or but at a little distance, waiting the issue of this affair:

behold now I have done this thing;
have agreed to recall Absalom, at the suit of this woman, which thou hast put her upon; or, according to the textual reading, "thou hast done this thing" F18; contrived this scheme, to let me know the mind of the people with respect to Absalom, or to represent to me the propriety of sending for him home:

go, therefore, bring the young man Absalom again;
I give my consent to it, and you may send for him, or fetch him as soon as you please; it is thought he calls him a young man, to extenuate his crime, that it was done in youthful heat and passion, and therefore he should pass it over.

2 Samuel 14:21 In-Context

19 —¿Joab te incitó a hacer esto?
Y la mujer contestó:
—Mi señor el rey, ¿cómo podría negarlo? Nadie puede esconder nada de usted. Sí, Joab me envió y me dijo qué decir.
20 Lo hizo para que pueda ver el asunto con otros ojos. ¡Pero usted es tan sabio como un ángel de Dios, y comprende todo lo que sucede entre nosotros!
21 Entonces el rey mandó llamar a Joab y le dijo:
—Está bien, ve y trae de regreso al joven Absalón.
22 Joab se inclinó rostro en tierra con profundo respeto y dijo:
—Por fin sé que cuento con su favor, mi señor el rey, porque me ha concedido esta petición.
23 Enseguida Joab fue a Gesur y trajo a Absalón de regreso a Jerusalén.
