2 Samuel 14:12

Then the woman said, let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my Lord the king ,.... Having gained her point, and gotten a decree from him confirmed by an oath, that her son though he had killed his brother should not die; she proceeds to accommodate the parable, and apply it to the case of Absalom, and improve it in his favour:

and he said, say on ; gave her leave to say what she had further to observe to him; see Luke 7:40 .
