SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:23
E hicieron saber al rey, diciendo: He aquí está Natán profeta; el cual cuando entró al rey, se postró delante del rey inclinando su rostro a tierra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. And they told the king , etc.] Some that attended at the door, or were in the chamber: saying, behold, Nathan the prophet ; or he is in the room, which the king through his infirmities might not be sensible of: and when he was come in before the king ; nearer to him, and as to be properly in his presence: he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground ; showing him the same reverence, though in bed, as if on his throne.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-31 - Observe Nathan's address to Bathsheba. Let me give thee counsel how to save thy own life, and the life of thy son. Such as this is the counse Christ's ministers give us in his name, to give all diligence, not onl that no man take our crown, Re 3:11, but that we save our lives, eve the lives of our souls. David made a solemn declaration of his fir cleaving to his former resolution, that Solomon should be his successor. Even the recollection of the distresses from which the Lor redeemed him, increased his comfort, inspired his hopes, and animate him to his duty, under the decays of nature and the approach of death.
