2 Samuele 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 Samuele 14:9 In-Context

7 Ed ecco che tutta la famiglia è insorta contro la tua serva, dicendo: Consegnaci colui che ha ucciso il fratello, affinché lo facciam morire per vendicare il fratello ch’egli ha ucciso, e per sterminare così anche l’erede. In questo modo spegneranno il tizzo che m’è rimasto, e non lasceranno a mio marito né nome né discendenza sulla faccia della terra".
8 Il re disse alla donna: "Vattene a casa tua: io darò degli ordini a tuo riguardo".
9 E la donna di Tekoa disse al re: "O re mio signore, la colpa cada su me e sulla casa di mio padre, ma il re e il suo trono non ne siano responsabili".
10 E il re: "Se qualcuno parla contro di te, menalo da me, e vedrai che non ti toccherà più".
11 Allora ella disse: "Ti prego, menzioni il re l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, perché il vindice del sangue non aumenti la rovina e non mi sia sterminato il figlio". Ed egli rispose: "Com’è vero che l’Eterno vive, non cadrà a terra un capello del tuo figliuolo!"
