Commentary on 2 Samuel 14:16

Theological / Devotional

The king will hear. The king had already heard and granted her appeal, as far as she and her son were concerned. But the king would also hear her appeal in regard to the case for which she specifically had come. She was now speaking indirectly in behalf of Absalom and was appealing to David to permit him to return. In fact she was telling David that this appeal was already heard and her petition already answered. The king would hear — of that she was supremely confident. Who was there who could resist such an appeal?
