2 Samuel 14:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:20

To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done
this thing
Feigned a story in such form and manner as had been delivered to the king, that it might be accommodated and applied to the case of Absalom, and to transfer it in a figure to the king, to use the apostle's phrase, ( 1 Corinthians 4:8 ) ;

and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God;
as not only to understand the design of this fable or parable, but of such sagacity and penetration as to find out the author of it; and even

to know all [things] that [are] in the earth;
either in the whole world, or rather in the land of Israel; and it is to be understood not of all actions natural and moral done by men in it, which would be to ascribe omniscience to him; but of all political things, all things respecting civil government; that he had such a spirit of discerning of men and things, that nothing could be said or done, or scheme formed, but he got intelligence of it, and insight into it; and which was carrying the compliment to a great height.

2 Samuel 14:20 In-Context

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.
19 —¿Acaso no está Joab detrás de todo esto?La mujer respondió:—Juro por la vida de Su Majestad que su pregunta ha dado en el blanco. En efecto, fue su siervo Joab quien me instruyó y puso en mis labios todo lo que he dicho.
20 Lo hizo para disimular el asunto, pero Su Majestad tiene la sabiduría de un ángel de Dios, y sabe todo lo que sucede en el país.
21 Entonces el rey llamó a Joab y le dijo:—Estoy de acuerdo. Anda, haz que regrese el joven Absalón.
22 Postrándose rostro en tierra, Joab le hizo una reverencia al rey y le dio las gracias, añadiendo:—Hoy sé que cuento con el favor de mi señor y rey, pues usted ha accedido a mi petición.
