SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:16
Entonces una mujer sabia dio voces en la ciudad, diciendo : Oíd, oíd; os ruego que digáis a Joab se llegue hasta acá, para que yo hable con él.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 20:16
Verse 16. A wise woman] She was probably governess.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. Then cried a wise woman out of the city , etc.] And such an one as the woman of Tekoah, supposed by some to be the governess of the city; but whoever she was, she well deserved the character of a wise woman; her conduct in this affair shows it: she cried with a loud voice, upon the wall of the city, to Joab’s men, who were underneath battering it, hear, hear ; which she repeated to make them hear: say, I pray you, unto Joab, come near hither, that I may speak with thee ; tell your general I desire to speak with him; which was wisely done, to have nothing to say but to the general himself.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-22 - Justly is that place attacked, which dares to harbour a traitor; no will the heart fare better which indulges rebellious lusts, that wil not have Christ to reign over them. A discreet woman, by her pruden management, satisfied Joab, and yet saved the city. Wisdom is no confined to rank or sex; it consists not in deep knowledge; but in understanding how to act as matters arise, that troubles may be turne away and benefits secured. A great deal of mischief would be prevented if contending parties would understand one another. Let both sides be undeceived. The single condition of peace is, the surrender of the traitor. It is so in God's dealing with the soul, when besieged by conviction and distress; sin is the traitor; the beloved lust is the rebel: part with that, cast away the transgression, and all shall be well. There is no peace on any other terms.
