Commentary on 2 Kings 6:28

Theological / Devotional

What aileth thee? The king had at first assumed that the woman was appealing to him for food. Now he realized that this may not have been the case, but that she may have had some other request. Perhaps he felt that, in full view of so many of the populace and the city’s defenders, he had answered her too harshly. After all he still was king and any citizen had the right to come to him for a final appeal. He agreed to listen to her petition.
