Now therefore I ask one petition of thee: turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on.

And now I ask one petition of thee; refuse me not. And she said to him, Speak.

and now, one petition I am asking of thee, turn not back my face;' and she saith unto him, 'Speak.'

Now I have one request to make to you, and do not say, No, to me. And she said to him, Say on.

Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face." And she said to him, "Speak."

Deny me not - literally, as in the margin, i. e. "make me not to hide my face through shame at being refused."

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) "ne avertere facias faciem meam", Pagninus.
