THE MESSAGE
"My master the king," Nathan began, "did you say, ‘Adonijah shall be king after me and sit on my throne'? Because that's what's happening. He's thrown a huge coronation feast—cattle, grain-fed heifers, sheep—inviting all the king's sons, the army officers, and Abiathar the priest. They're having a grand time, eating and drinking and shouting, ‘Long live King Adonijah!' But I wasn't invited, nor was the priest Zadok, nor Benaiah son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon. Is this something that my master the king has done behind our backs, not telling your servants who you intended to be king after you?"

New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne'?

Contextual Overview

¹¹ Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord does not know it? ¹² Now therefore come, let me, I pray you, give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon. ¹³ Go and get in to king David, and say to him, Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your slave, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then does Adonijah reign? ¹⁴ Look, while you yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words. ¹⁵ And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king. ¹⁶ And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What do you want? ¹⁷ And she said to him, My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your slave, [saying], Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne. ¹⁸ And now, look, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, do not know it: ¹⁹ and he has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon your slave he has not called. ²⁰ And you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Nathan said, my lord, O king,.... He addresses him as with great veneration and respect due to his office, so as if he knew noticing of Bathsheba's application to him; and therefore begins and tells his story, as if the king had never heard anything relative to it:

hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? surely it can never be, because of the notice which he himself had given him from the Lord, that one to be born should succeed him, plainly pointing to Solomon; and also because of the oath which he had sworn, to which Nathan was privy, that Solomon should reign after him; and yet if he had not given such orders, it was exceeding strange that Adonijah should presume to do what he had done.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hast thou said - Thou hast said. In the original no question is asked. Nathan assumes, as far as words go, that the king has made this declaration. He wishes to draw forth a disclaimer.
