What is the meaning of "v'Lo Im Odeni Chai
Rashi: [V'Lo] is a request, like "v'Lo Yutan Na l'Avdecha" (Melachim 2 5:16).
Radak 1 : I need not request that in my lifetime you will do with me Chesed Hashem, i.e. fulfill our "Bris Hashem" (verse 8) and not kill me. I request that your Chesed will not cease from my house.
R. Yeshayah: Do not forget, if I am still alive when you become king, [lest you forget] and not do Chesed with me, [rather, you will remember] and I will not die, and you will not remember against me my father's hatred.
Malbim: This is a continuation of verse 13. Hashem will be with you, but not if in my lifetime [when you become king] you will not do Chesed with me, rather, kill me [like kings generally kill the seed of the previous king, to solidify their kingship].
Perhaps this is Rashi's intent 'the verse does not leave its simple meaning.' Abarvenel says that all Meforshim explain like this. (PF)
