2 Kings 22:15

15 et illa respondit eis haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dicite viro qui misit vos ad me

2 Kings 22:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 22:15

And she said unto them
The king's messengers:

thus saith the Lord God of Israel;
being immediately inspired by him, she spake in his name, as prophets did:

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.

2 Kings 22:15 In-Context

13 ite et consulite Dominum super me et super populo et super omni Iuda de verbis voluminis istius quod inventum est magna enim ira Domini succensa est contra nos quia non audierunt patres nostri verba libri huius ut facerent omne quod scriptum est nobis

14 ierunt itaque Helcias sacerdos et Ahicham et Achobor et Saphan et Asaia ad Oldam propheten uxorem Sellum filii Thecue filii Araas custodis vestium quae habitabat in Hierusalem in secunda locutique sunt ad eam

15 et illa respondit eis haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dicite viro qui misit vos ad me

16 haec dicit Dominus ecce ego adducam mala super locum hunc et super habitatores eius omnia verba legis quae legit rex Iuda

17 quia dereliquerunt me et sacrificaverunt diis alienis inritantes me in cunctis operibus manuum suarum et succendetur indignatio mea in loco hoc et non extinguetur
