Context — Absalom’s Return to Jerusalem

16For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would cut off both me and my son from God’s inheritance.’ 17And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the king bring me rest, for my lord the king is able to discern good and evil, just like the angel of God. May the LORD your God be with you.’”

18Then the king said to the woman, “I am going to ask you something; do not conceal it from me!” “Let my lord the king speak,” she replied.

19So the king asked, “Is the hand of Joab behind all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king says. Yes, your servant Joab is the one who gave me orders; he told your maidservant exactly what to say. 20Joab your servant has done this to bring about this change of affairs, but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that happens in the land.”

2 Samuel 14:18 Summary

[This verse shows a conversation between King David and a woman who has come to him for help. The king wants her to be honest with him, so he can make a fair decision. This is similar to how God wants us to be truthful with Him, as we see in Psalm 51:6, where David asks God to create in him a clean heart. The woman's willingness to cooperate with the king is an example for us to follow, as we see in Matthew 22:37-40, where Jesus teaches us to love and obey God with all our heart, soul, and mind.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the context of this conversation between the king and the woman?

The woman, whose son was killed by her other son, has come to King David to plead for mercy and justice, as seen in 2 Samuel 14:16-17, and now the king is about to ask her a direct question to get to the truth of the matter, as we see in 2 Samuel 14:18.

Why does the king ask the woman not to conceal anything from him?

King David wants the woman to be honest with him, so he can make a just decision, similar to how Solomon asked God for wisdom to discern good and evil in 1 Kings 3:9, and this shows the king's desire for truth and fairness in his kingdom.

What is the significance of the woman's response to the king?

The woman's reply, 'Let my lord the king speak,' indicates her willingness to cooperate and be truthful, demonstrating respect and submission to the king's authority, as seen in Romans 13:1-2, where we are called to submit to governing authorities.

How does this verse relate to our relationship with God?

Just as the king wants honesty from the woman, God desires truthfulness and transparency from us, as seen in John 4:24, where God seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and truth, and this reminds us to be honest with God in our prayers and interactions with Him.

Reflection Questions

What are some areas in my life where I need to be more truthful and transparent, like the woman in this verse?
How can I, like the woman, demonstrate respect and submission to those in authority over me, whether in my family, church, or community?
In what ways can I seek to discern good and evil, like King David and Solomon, and make wise decisions in my life, as guided by Proverbs 3:5-6?
What are some ways I can cooperate with God's plan for my life, just as the woman cooperated with the king's inquiry, and trust in His sovereignty, as seen in Psalm 138:8?

Neither was she to seek of an answer, but comes off truly and trimly, extolling the king’ s singular sagacity.
