2 Samuel 20:19

Listen to 2 Samuel 20:19
19 Nuestra ciudad es la más pacífica y fiel del país, y muy importante en Israel; usted, sin embargo, intenta arrasarla. ¿Por qué quiere destruir la heredad del SEÑOR?

2 Samuel 20:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 20:19

I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in
Israel
Her meaning is, that she was of a city which consisted of peaceable and faithful men, that were peaceable among themselves, and faithful to their king, who never were concerned in any insurrection or rebellion, not in the late one under Absalom:

thou seekest to destroy a city, and a mother in Israel;
a metropolitan city, which had several towns and villages under its jurisdiction, which were as daughters to it. Some think she means herself, because very old, supposed F3 to be Serah, the daughter of Asher, a son of Jacob, which is improbable:

wilt why thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord?
a city which is a part of the land, that is the Lord's inheritance.

2 Samuel 20:19 In-Context

17 Joab se le acercó.—¿Es usted Joab? —le preguntó la mujer.—Así es.Entonces la mujer le dijo:—Ponga atención a las palabras de esta servidora suya.—Te escucho —respondió Joab.
18 Ella continuó:—Antiguamente, cuando había alguna discusión, la gente resolvía el asunto con este dicho: “Vayan y pregunten en Abel”.
19 Nuestra ciudad es la más pacífica y fiel del país, y muy importante en Israel; usted, sin embargo, intenta arrasarla. ¿Por qué quiere destruir la heredad del SEÑOR?
20 —¡Que Dios me libre! —replicó Joab—. ¡Que Dios me libre de arrasarla y destruirla!
21 Yo no he venido a eso, sino a capturar a un hombre llamado Sabá hijo de Bicrí. Es de la sierra de Efraín y se ha sublevado contra el rey David. Si me entregan a ese hombre, me retiro de la ciudad.—Muy bien —respondió la mujer—. Desde la muralla arrojaremos su cabeza.
