2 Samuel 14:16

16 librándonos a mí y a mi hijo de quien quiere eliminarnos, para quedarse con la heredad que Dios nos ha dado”.

2 Samuel 14:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:16

For the king will hear
She was fully persuaded of it, as now he had heard her:

to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man [that would] destroy
me and my son together out of the inheritance of God;
he had given his word and his oath that he would deliver her son from the avenger of blood, that neither he nor any other should destroy him; which would have been the destruction of her and her whole family out of the land of Israel, the land which God had chosen for his inheritance, and had given to the of Israel to be theirs; and since the king had heard her, and granted her this favour, she doubted not but that he would deliver his own son from death, and restore him to the inheritance of the land, where he might worship the Lord God of his fathers, of which he was now deprived.

2 Samuel 14:16 In-Context

14 Así como el agua que se derrama en tierra no se puede recoger, así también todos tenemos que morir. Pero Dios no nos arrebata la vida, sino que provee los medios para que el desterrado no siga separado de él para siempre.

15 »Yo he venido a hablar con Su Majestad porque hay gente que me ha infundido temor. He pensado: “Voy a hablarle al rey; tal vez me conceda lo que le pida,

16 librándonos a mí y a mi hijo de quien quiere eliminarnos, para quedarse con la heredad que Dios nos ha dado”.

17 »Pensé, además, que su palabra me traería alivio, pues Su Majestad es como un ángel de Dios, que sabe distinguir entre lo bueno y lo malo. ¡Que el SEÑOR su Dios lo bendiga!

18 Al llegar a este punto, el rey le dijo a la mujer:—Voy a hacerte una pregunta, y te pido que no me ocultes nada.—Dígame usted.
