2 Samuel 14:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:9

And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, my lord and king,
&c.] With much vehemence, and yet with great respect, fearing an inquisition into her case; which it would not bear, being a fable, and being very desirous of having sentence on it immediately pronounced:

the iniquity [be] on me and on my father's house;
let the crime be imputed to me and my family, and punishment inflicted on us for it, if I have misrepresented the case, told lies, and deceived the king:

and the king and his throne [be] guiltless;
let neither he nor his kingdom be charged with any sin, or suffer any damage on that account: or else the sense is, supposing that the king through much business should forget and neglect this affair; and her son should be put to death, through the violence and rage of the family; then she wishes that the fault and punishment of such neglect might not fall upon the king and his kingdom, but upon her and her family: in this form she put it, for the honour of the king, and because she would not be thought to wish ill to him and his kingdom; yet tacitly suggests, that should this be the case, he and his kingdom must expect to answer and suffer for it.

2 Samuel 14:9 In-Context

7 Agora, todo o clã levantou-se contra a tua serva, exigindo: ‘Entregue o assassino, para que o matemos pela vida do irmão, e nos livremos também do herdeiro’. Eles querem apagar a última centelha que me restou, deixando meu marido sem nome nem descendência na face da terra”.
8 O rei disse à mulher: “Vá para casa. Eu mandarei que cuidem do seu caso”.
9 Mas a mulher de Tecoa lhe disse: “Ó rei, meu senhor, é sobre mim e sobre a família de meu pai que pesará a iniquidade; não pesa culpa sobre o rei e sobre o seu trono”.
10 O rei respondeu: “Se alguém ameaçá-la, traga-o a mim, e ele não mais a incomodará”.
11 Ela acrescentou: “Peço então ao rei que, em nome do SENHOR, o seu Deus, não permita que o vingador da vítima cause maior destruição, matando meu outro filho”.E disse ele: “Eu juro pelo nome do SENHOR: Nem um só fio de cabelo da cabeça de seu filho cairá”.
