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.
