Bath-Sceba si rec dunque dal re Salomone per parlargli in favore di Adonijah. Il re si alz per andarle incontro, si inchin davanti a lei, poi si pose a sedere sul suo trono e fece mettere un trono per la madre del re, ed ella si sedette alla sua destra.

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.
