1 Rois 2:19

Bath-Schéba se rendit auprès du roi Salomon, pour lui parler en faveur d'Adonija. Le roi se leva pour aller à sa rencontre, il se prosterna devant elle, et il s'assit sur son trône. On plaça un siège pour la mère du roi, et elle s'assit à sa droite.

Et Bath-Shéba alla vers le roi Salomon, afin de lui parler pour Adonija. Et le roi, se levant, vint au-devant d'elle et se prosterna devant elle; puis il s'assit sur son trône, et fit mettre un siège pour la mère du roi; et elle s'assit à sa droite.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Bathsheba therefore went unto King Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah,.... She went from her own house to the palace; for she might not live at court; or however had an apartment to herself, from whence she went to the king with her suit in favour of Adonijah:

and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her; upon her entrance into the presence chamber, in honour to her as a parent, he rose up from his throne, and made his obeisance to her, as a dutiful son:

and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; a magnificent seat or throne, as the word is, was ordered to be set for her:

and she sat on his right hand; where he placed her in honour to her as his mother; so Nero a placed Tiridates king of Armenia at his right hand, to do him honour.

a Suetonius in Vit. Neron. c. 13.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A seat - Or, “a throne.” We have here a proof of the high dignity of the Queen-mother. Compare also 1Ki 15:13; 2 Kings 11:1-3. In the Persian court the Queen-mother had often the chief power.
