This is what Holmstedt* has to say about )$r in 1Kings 3:19:
Note (32) is a reference to 1Kings 3:19
"In (32), the head that the extraposed relative modifies is the noun phrase
son. The extraposed relative appears to be non-restrictively modifying the
head in that it provided additional information which is unnecessary for
identifying the referent of son (the head noun phrase son is already
identified by virtue of the construct relationship with this woman). The
relative clause is in fact providing the cause of death; the point is,
however, that syntactically it is more economical to analyze the rva clause
as a relative even if we render it as a causal clause in translation."
