Here the wife's grief pours out into a curse. It is telling that she who pleaded for mercy now, having lost her husband, curses: trampled love turns into a storm. It is seen from this how dangerous is the wounding of the defenseless: a rejected plea gives birth to a punishment more terrible than any weapon. Thus scripture shows that the suffering of the innocent, left unheeded, turns into a curse; and the king, deaf to tears, brings down retribution upon himself out of the very blood he has spilled.
