Melachim Alef 2:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 2:18

And Bathsheba said, well
Very well spoken, the thing is good and right:

Melachim Alef 2:18 In-Context

16 And now I ask thee one she’elah: refuse me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

17 And he said, Speak, now, unto Sh’lomo HaMelech, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Avishag HaShunammit as isha.

18 And Bat-Sheva said, Tov; I will speak for thee unto HaMelech.

19 Bat-Sheva therefore went unto HaMelech Sh’lomo, to speak unto him for Adoniyah. And HaMelech rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his kisse, and caused a kisse to be set for Em HaMelech; and she sat on his yamin (right hand).

20 Then she said, I desire one small she’elah of thee; now, say me not nay. And HaMelech said unto her, Ask on, immi: for I will not say thee nay.
