George Leo Haydock, on 2Kgs 6:27

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
2Kgs 6:27 · Douay-Rheims
“And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:”
On this verse:
“Save ( salvat. ) Many ancient manuscripts read salvet, conformably to the Hebrew and Septuagint, as if the king cursed the woman: “Let not the Lord save thee,” Josephus [Antiquities?] ix. 4. Others place the stops differently: “He said, no: the Lord save thee.” (Calmet) — He is the author of life. (Menochius)”
