Której rzekł król: Coć się dzieje? A ona odpowiedziała: Zaiste jestem wdową, abowiem umarł mi mąż mój.
I rzekł jej król: Cóż ci? A ona odpowiedziała: Zaistem ja niewiasta wdowa; bo mi mąż mój umarł:
Król zapytał: Co się stało? Ach! - odpowiedziała. - Jestem wdową. Mąż nie żyje.
A król jej odpowiedział: Co ci jest? Zaś ona odparła: Zaprawdę, jestem owdowiałą kobietą, ponieważ mój mąż umarł.
I król ją zapytał: Co ci jest? Ona zaś odpowiedziała: Jestem wdową, mój mąż umarł;
A król odezwał się do niej: Co ci to? Ona odpowiedziała: Ach! Jestem wdową, mój mąż umarł!
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
I am indeed: It is very possible that the principal incidents mentioned here were real; and that Joab found out a person whose circumstances bore a near resemblance to that which he wished to represent. She did not make the similitude too plain and visible, lest the king should see her intention before she had obtained a grant of pardon; and thus her circumstances, her mournful tale, her widow's dress, her aged person - for Josephus says she was advanced in years and her impressive manner, all combined to make one united irresistible impression on the heart of the aged monarch 2 Samuel 12:1-3, Judges 9:8-15
Reciprocal: Genesis 27:24 - I am Genesis 38:19 - laid by her veil Judges 18:23 - What aileth 1 Kings 20:39 - Thy servant 2 Kings 6:28 - What aileth thee Isaiah 22:1 - What Luke 18:3 - a widow
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king said unto her, what aileth thee?.... Or what is thy case? What is the condition, and what the circumstances, that thou art in, which require help and assistance? intimating that he was ready to grant it on knowledge thereof; however, he was ready to hear what she had to say:
and she answered, I [am] indeed a widow woman; of a truth a widow, as the Targum; she was really one, a widow indeed, as in 1 Timothy 5:3; not one that was separated from her husband, he being alive, or divorced from him on any account; and therefore she adds,
and mine husband is dead; and has been a long time; this she said to move the pity and compassion of the king, who, as the supreme magistrate in God's stead, was a Father of the fatherless, and the judge of the widow.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 14:5. I am indeed a widow woman — It is very possible that the principal facts mentioned here were real, and that Joab found out a person whose circumstances bore a near resemblance to that which he wished to represent.
