Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And now I ask one petition of thee,.... And but one, and a small one too, as Bathsheba herself after calls it: deny me not, or "turn not away my face" (t); with shame and sorrow, which would be the case should he be denied: and she said unto him, say on; let me hear it. (t) תשיבי את פני "ne avertere facias faciem meam", Pagninus.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

The right hand is the place of honor; and as it expressly said to have been assigned to "the king's mother," it is necessary to remark that, when a husband dies, his widow acquires a higher dignity and power, as a mother over her son, than she ever possessed before. Besides, the dignity of "king's mother" is a state office, to which certain revenues are attached.
