2 Samuel 20:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 20:17

And when he was come near unto her
As he did, upon the information of his men, that a woman on the wall had something to say to him:

the woman said, [art] thou Joab?
she was willing to be satisfied that he was really the general, before she would impart her mind to him:

and he answered, I [am he];
the very person you ask after:

and she said unto him, hear the words of thine handmaid;
though a woman, vouchsafe to hear what I have to say:

and he answered, I do hear:
am ready to hear, and shall patiently and attentively hear whatever may be spoken; which was giving her leave and encouragement to proceed.

2 Samuel 20:17 In-Context

15 Cuando llegaron las fuerzas de Joab, atacaron Abel-bet-maaca. Construyeron una rampa de asalto contra las fortificaciones de la ciudad y comenzaron a derribar la muralla.
16 Pero una mujer sabia de la ciudad llamó a Joab y le dijo:
—Escúcheme, Joab. Venga aquí para que pueda hablar con usted.
17 Cuando Joab se acercó, la mujer le preguntó:
—¿Es usted Joab?
—Sí, soy yo —le respondió.
Entonces ella dijo:
—Escuche atentamente a su sierva.
—Estoy atento —le dijo.
18 Así que ella continuó:
—Había un dicho que decía: “Si quieres resolver una disputa, pide consejo en la ciudad de Abel”.
19 Soy alguien que ama la paz y que es fiel en Israel, pero usted está por destruir una ciudad importante de Israel.
¿Por qué quiere devorar lo que le pertenece al Señor
?
