16 Perhaps the king will agree to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who is trying to cut off both me and my son from God's inheritance.'
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
16 For the king will hear and deliver his servant from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together from the heritage of God.'
16 When the king hears what's going on, he'll step in and rescue me from the abuse of the man who would get rid of me and my son and God's inheritance - the works!'
16 For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together from the inheritance of God.'
16 and rescue us from those who would cut us off from the inheritance God has given us.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 14:16
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.
