2 Samuel 14:4 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Spake - Seems to be an accidental error for came, which is found in many manuscipts and versions.

Help - literally, save (see the margin). It is the same cry as Hosanna, i. e. save now Psalms 118:25.

2 Samuel 14:4

4 And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help,a O king.
