John Gill Commentary 2 Kings 6:26

"And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king." — 2 Kings 6:26 (ASV)

And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall
To spy out the motion and situation of the enemy, and to give orders for the annoyance of them, and to see that his soldiers did their duty:

there cried a woman to him, saying, help, my lord, O king ;
desired his assistance and help in a cause depending between her and another woman.
