A Picture of Repentance
Matthew Henry draws a powerful spiritual parallel from this event. He likens the city harboring a traitor to a heart that indulges a rebellious sin against God. The siege represents God's conviction, and the only path to peace is to surrender the 'traitor'—to cast away the transgression. This illustrates that true peace with God requires dealing decisively with our sin.
