2 Kings 6:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:26

And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall
To spy out the motion and situation of the enemy, and to give orders for the annoyance of them, and to see that his soldiers did their duty:

there cried a woman to him, saying, help, my lord, O king;
desired his assistance and help in a cause depending between her and another woman.

24 factum est autem post haec congregavit Benadad rex Syriae universum exercitum suum et ascendit et obsidebat Samariam

25 factaque est fames magna in Samaria et tamdiu obsessa est donec venundaretur caput asini octoginta argenteis et quarta pars cabi stercoris columbarum quinque argenteis

26 cumque rex Israhel transiret per murum mulier exclamavit ad eum dicens salva me domine mi rex

27 qui ait non te salvet Dominus unde salvare te possum de area an de torculari dixitque ad eam rex quid tibi vis quae respondit

28 mulier ista dixit mihi da filium tuum ut comedamus eum hodie et filium meum comedemus cras
