According to the wisdom of an angel of God - This is quite in the style of Asiatic flattery. A European is often addressed, "Saheb can do every thing; we can do nothing; none can prevent the execution of Saheb’ s commands; Saheb is God."See Ward.

Defender: 2Sa 14:20 - -- This testimony of the "wise woman of Tekoah" (2Sa 14:2), while exaggerating David's wisdom, does indicate that the highest degree of wisdom to which h...

This testimony of the "wise woman of Tekoah" (2Sa 14:2), while exaggerating David's wisdom, does indicate that the highest degree of wisdom to which human wisdom can be compared is that of "the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth." Angels are said also to "excel in strength" (Psa 103:20). Thus angels evidently understand natural processes and can manipulate and control them to some considerable degree."

To fetch about this form of speech i.e. to propose mine, and his, and the people’ s desire of Absalom’ s restitution in this parabolical manner, in mine and my son’ s person.

To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing,.... Feigned a story in such form and manner as had been delivered to the king, that it might be accommodated and applied to the case of Absalom, and to transfer it in a figure to the king, to use the apostle's phrase, 1Co 4:8,

and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God; as not only to understand the design of this fable or parable, but of such sagacity and penetration as to find out the author of it; and even

to know all things that are in the earth; either in the whole world, or rather in the land of Israel; and it is to be understood not of all actions natural and moral done by men in it, which would be to ascribe omniscience to him; but of all political things, all things respecting civil government; that he had such a spirit of discerning of men and things, that nothing could be said or done, or scheme formed, but he got intelligence of it, and insight into it; and which was carrying the compliment to a great height.
