Contextual Overview

1And Joab son of Zeruial knows that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom, 2and Joab sends to Tekoah, and takes a wise woman from there, and says to her, "Please feign yourself a mourner, and now put on garments of mourning, and do not anoint yourself with oil, and you have been as a woman mourning for the dead [for] these many days, 3and you have gone to the king, and spoken to him, according to this word"; and Joab puts the words into her mouth. 4And the woman of Tekoah speaks to the king, and falls on her face to the earth, and pays respect, and says, "Save, O king." 5And the king says to her, "What do you [want]?" And she says, "I [am] truly a widow woman, and my husband dies, 6and your maidservant has two sons; and both of them strive in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and one strikes the other, and puts him to death; 7and behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and say, Give up him who strikes his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he has slain, and we also destroy the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left—so as not to set a name and remnant on the face of the ground for my husband." 8And the king says to the woman, "Go to your house, and I give charge concerning you." 9And the woman of Tekoah says to the king, "On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent." 10And the king says, "He who speaks to you, and you have brought him to me, then he does not add to come against you anymore."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the king said, whoever saith [ought] unto thee,.... Demanding her to deliver up her son to justice, and reproaching her for not doing it:

bring him to me; give him in charge to a proper officer to be brought before me, and I shall chastise him for it:

and he shall not touch thee any more; give her any further trouble, by words or deeds.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 14:10. Whosoever saith aught unto thee — Neither did this bring the matter to such a bearing that she could come to her conclusion, which was, to get the king pledged by a solemn promise that all proceedings relative to the case should be stopped.
