This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
One small petition; so she esteemed it, because she did not perceive his design in it; and as for that law, Lev_18:7, she might apprehend, that because David knew her not, it was only a contract for marriage, and therefore no impediment of her marriage to any other after his death; which also is the opinion of some of the late learned Hebrew doctors.
I will not say thee nay; supposing thy request be but small, as thou sayest it is, and not unlawful, nor injurious to myself or others.
