Listen to 2 Reis 6:27

2 Reis 6:27 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:27

And he said, if the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help
thee?
&c.] Mistaking her meaning, as if she prayed him to relieve her hunger; the margin of our Bible is, "let not the Lord save thee"; and so some understand it as a wish that she might perish; and so Josephus {o}, that being wroth, he cursed her in the name of God:

out of the barn floor, or out of the winepress?
when neither of them afforded anything; no corn was to be had from the one, nor wine from the other, no, not for his own use, and therefore how could he help her out of either?

2 Reis 6:27 In-Context

25 O cerco durou tanto e causou tamanha fome que uma cabeça de jumento chegou a valer oitenta peças de prata, e uma caneca de esterco de pomba, cinco peças de prata.
26 Um dia, quando o rei de Israel inspecionava os muros da cidade, uma mulher gritou para ele: “Socorro, majestade!”
27 O rei respondeu: “Se o SENHOR não a socorrer, como poderei ajudá-la? Acaso há trigo na eira ou vinho no tanque de prensar uvas?”
28 Contudo ele perguntou: “Qual é o problema?”Ela respondeu: “Esta mulher me disse: ‘Vamos comer o seu filho hoje, e amanhã comeremos o meu’.
29 Então cozinhamos o meu filho e o comemos. No dia seguinte eu disse a ela que era a vez de comermos o seu filho, mas ela o havia escondido”.
