1 KINGS 2:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.”
"Now I ask one thing of you; do not refuse me.' And she said to him, 'Say on.'" — Adonijah formally makes his petition: *sha'el panay davar 'echad ve-lo ta'atzmi* (I ask one thing of you; do not refuse me). The phrasing is supplicatory; Adonijah is now a petitioner, not a rival. Bathsheba grants him hearing: *daber* (speak). The narrative builds suspense; what does this deposed prince want from the queen mother?
