Shmuel Bais 14:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 14:12

Then the woman said, let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak
[one] word unto my Lord the king
Having gained her point, and gotten a decree from him confirmed by an oath, that her son though he had killed his brother should not die; she proceeds to accommodate the parable, and apply it to the case of Absalom, and improve it in his favour:

and he said, say on;
gave her leave to say what she had further to observe to him; see ( Luke 7:40 ) .

Shmuel Bais 14:12 In-Context

10 And HaMelech said, Whoever saith anything unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.

11 Then said she, Now, let HaMelech remember Hashem Eloheicha, that thou wouldest not suffer the Go’el HaDahm to destroy any more, lest they destroy beni (my son). And he said, As Hashem liveth, there shall not one hair of thy ben fall to the ground.

12 Then the isha said, Let thine shifchah, now, speak one word unto adoni Ha-Melech. And he said, Say on.

13 And the isha said, why then hast thou thought such a thing against the Am Elohim? For HaMelech doth speak this thing as one which is guilty, in that HaMelech doth not bring back home again his banished.

14 For we must needs die, are as mayim spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; yet Elohim doth not take away nefesh; but devises means, so that His banished be not expelled from Him.
