SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:17
Tu sierva pues dice: Que sea ahora la respuesta de mi señor el rey para descanso; pues que mi señor el rey es como un ángel de Dios para escuchar lo bueno y lo malo, y el SEÑOR tu Dios sea contigo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Then thine handmaid said, the word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable , etc.] Or, “for rest” f242 ; what will give ease and satisfaction not only to her, but to all the people of Israel, when they shall hear of the king’s intention and resolution to bring back Absalom: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king ; as they are very wise, knowing, and understanding creatures, so was David: to discern good and bad ; to hear both the one and the other, and to discern the difference between them, and choose and pursue what is right, as in all other things, so in the present case: therefore the Lord thy God shall be with thee ; as to counsel and advise, so to assist in performance, and to prosper and succeed; the Targum is, “the Word of the Lord thy God shall be for thine help.”
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-20 - We may notice here, how this widow pleads God's mercy, and his clemenc toward poor guilty sinners. The state of sinners is a state of banishment from God. God pardons none to the dishonour of his law an justice, nor any who are impenitent; nor to the encouragement of crimes, or the hurt of others.
