2 Samuel 14:13-17
_ _ Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God, etc. — Her argument may be made clear in the following paraphrase: — You have granted me the pardon of a son who had slain his brother, and yet you will not grant to your subjects the restoration of Absalom, whose criminality is not greater than my son’s, since he killed his brother in similar circumstances of provocation. Absalom has reason to complain that he is treated by his own father more sternly and severely than the meanest subject in the realm; and the whole nation will have cause for saying that the king shows more attention to the petition of a humble woman than to the wishes and desires of a whole kingdom. The death of my son is a private loss to my family, while the preservation of Absalom is the common interest of all Israel, who now look to him as your successor on the throne. |
2 Samuel 14:15
The people — The truth is, I was even forced to this bold address to thee by the disposition of thy people, who are discontented at Absalom's perpetual banishment, lest, if Absalom by his father — in — law's assistance invade the land, the people who have a great kindness for him, and think he is very hard used, should take up arms. |
2 Samuel 14:15
Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, [it is] because the people (i) have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
(i) For I thought they would kill my son. |
