SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:20
Y ella dijo: Una pequeña petición pretendo de ti; no me hagas volver mi rostro. Y el rey le dijo: Pide, madre mía, que yo no te haré volver el rostro.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee , etc.] It was but one, and a little one, and therefore she hoped it would be granted: [I pray thee], say me not nay ; do not refuse it, or deny it me, or turn away my thee with shame and disappointment: and the king said, ask on, my mother, for I will not say thee nay ; since it is a small one, as thou sayest, and provided it is fit and lawful to be granted.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-25 - Solomon received Bathsheba with all the respect that was owing to mother; but let none be asked for that which they ought not to grant It ill becomes a good man to prefer a bad request, or to appear in bad cause. According to eastern customs it was plain that Adonija sought to be king, by his asking for Abishag as his wife, and Solomo could not be safe while he lived. Ambitious, turbulent spirits commonl prepare death for themselves. Many a head has been lost by catching a a crown.
