1 Kings1:31
31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever .
i. e. For a long time, as that word is oft used, as Chap. 2. 33. Dan. 2. 4. Though I desire thy Oath may be kept, and the right of Succession confirmed to my Son, yet I am far from thirsting after thy death for his advancement, and should rather rejoyce, if it were possible for thee to live and enjoy thy Crown for ever.
