Contextual Overview
11And Nathan speaks to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, saying, "Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has reigned, and our lord David has not known? 12And now, come, please let me counsel you, and deliver your life and the life of your son Solomon; 13go and enter in to King David, and you have said to him: Have you not, my lord, O king, sworn to your handmaid, saying, Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne? And why has Adonijah reigned? 14Behold, you are yet speaking there with the king, and I come in after you, and have completed your words." 15And Bathsheba comes in to the king, [into] the inner chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the Shunammite is serving the king; 16and Bathsheba bows and pays respect to the king, and the king says, "What do you [want]?" 17And she says to him, "My lord, you have sworn by your God YHWH to your handmaid, [saying], Surely your son Solomon reigns after me, and he sits on my throne; 18and now, behold, Adonijah has reigned, and now, my lord, O king, you have not known; 19and he sacrifices ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance, and calls for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab head of the host—and he has not called for your servant Solomon. 20And you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on you, to declare to them who sit on the throne of my lord the king after him;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then King David answered and said,.... Observing that Nathan confirmed the account that Bathsheba had given, and that it must be a matter of fact that Adonijah had usurped the throne, gave orders to those about him, saying,
call me Bathsheba; who either went out of the room when Nathan entered it, or however removed to some distant part of it, out of the sight of David:
and she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king; came to the side or foot of his bed, hearkening to what he had to say to her.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 1:28. Call me Bath-sheba. — She had gone out when Nathan came in, and he retired when she was re-admitted. Each had a separate audience, but to Nathan the king did not express any will.
