Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Call me: She appears to have gone out when Nathan entered; and he retired when she was readmitted.

into the king's presence: Heb. before the king, 1 Kings 1:28

Reciprocal: Matthew 1:6 - her

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.
