1 Kings 2:20

Then she said , I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me . And the king said to her, Make your request , my mother , for I will not refuse you .

“I have one small request to make of you,” she said. “Do not refuse me.” The king replied, “Make it, my mother; I will not refuse you.”

Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee , say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother : for I will not say thee nay.
