"When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, showed respect, and said, "Help, O king!""
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king,.... Or after she had spoken to him, being introduced by Joab, as is probable; when she had saluted him with
God save the king, or May the king live, or some such like expressions: she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance; to him as her king, in reverence of his majesty: and said, help, O king; signifying that she was in great distress, and came to him for assistance and deliverance.
