Barnes' Notes
The iniquity be on me ... - Compare the principle in Genesis 9:5-6; Numbers 35:30-34. The woman therefore says, if there is any such guilt in sparing my son, may it rest upon me and my house, not on David and his throne. Compare II Samuel 3:28. The cunning speech of the woman extracted a more direct promise of protection from the king II Samuel 14:1.
