Και ειπε, Μιαν μικραν αιτησιν ζητω παρα σου· μη αρνηθης ταυτην εις εμε. Και ειπε προς αυτην ο βασιλευς, Ζητησον, μητηρ μου· διοτι δεν θελω σοι αρνηθη.

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.
