10 And the king said, Whosoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
10 The king replied, "If anyone says anything to you, bring them to me, and they will not bother you again."
10 The king said, "If anyone says anything to you, bring him to me, and he shall never touch you again."
10 "Bring the man who has been harassing you," the king continued. "I'll see to it that he doesn't bother you anymore."
10 So the king said, "Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you anymore."
10 "If anyone objects," the king said, "bring him to me. I can assure you he will never harm you again!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 14:10
Commentary on 2 Samuel 14:1-20
(Read 2 Samuel 14:1-20)
We may notice here, how this widow pleads God's mercy, and his clemency toward poor guilty sinners. The state of sinners is a state of banishment from God. God pardons none to the dishonour of his law and justice, nor any who are impenitent; nor to the encouragement of crimes, or the hurt of others.
