Albert Barnes Commentary 2 Samuel 14:4

"And when the woman of Tekoa spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king." — 2 Samuel 14:4 (ASV)

Spoke - This seems to be an accidental error for "came," which is found in many manuscripts and versions.

Help - Literally, "save" (see the margin). It is the same cry as "Hosanna," that is, "save now" (Psalms 118:25).
