2 Kings 22:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 22:15

tell the man that sent you to me;
which may seem somewhat rude and unmannerly to say of a king; but when it is considered she spake not of herself, but representing the King of kings and Lord of lords, it will be seen and judged of in another light.
