THE MESSAGE
"My master," she said, "you promised me in God 's name, ‘Your son Solomon will be king after me and sit on my throne.' And now look what's happened—Adonijah has taken over as king, and my master the king doesn't even know it! He has thrown a huge coronation feast—cattle and grain-fed heifers and sheep—inviting all the king's sons, the priest Abiathar, and Joab head of the army. But your servant Solomon was not invited. My master the king, every eye in Israel is watching you to see what you'll do—to see who will sit on the throne of my master the king after him. If you fail to act, the moment you're buried my son Solomon and I are as good as dead."

Contextual Overview
11 Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it? 12 "So now come, please let me give you advice, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon. 13 "Go at once to King David and say to him, 'Have you not, my lord the king, sworn to your servant, saying, "Solomon your son certainly shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?' 14 "Behold, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words." 15 So Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king. 16 Then Bathsheba bowed and prostrated herself before the king. And the king said, "What is on your mind?" 17 So she said to him, "My lord, you yourself swore to your servant by the LORD your God, saying, 'Your son Solomon certainly shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'18 "But now, behold, Adonijah is king; and now, my lord the king, you do not know it. 19 "He has sacrificed oxen and fattened steers and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant. 20 "And as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you, to announce to them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

My lord: Genesis 18:12, 1 Peter 3:6
thou swarest: It is not recorded when or upon what occasion David sware to Bathsheba that Solomon should succeed him; but it is supposed, with some degree of probability, that it took place after Absalom's rebellion; and as God himself had settled the succession, he might very properly give her this assurance. 1 Kings 1:13, 1 Kings 1:30
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 1:14 - I also 1 Kings 1:24 - reign 1 Kings 1:35 - sit 1 Chronicles 14:4 - Solomon

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she said unto him, my lord, thou swarest by the Lord thy God unto thine handmaid,.... Which was a very solemn oath, and binding, and which she puts David in mind of, knowing that so conscientious a man as he was would religiously observe it:
[saying], assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and shall sit upon my throne; be his successor in it, and established on it.
