Bathsheba Bows Before Aged King Davidby emmanuel_higgins

1 Kings 1:16

And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?

Bath-sheba bowed and paid respect to King David before asking him to act. David answered her bow by asking what she wanted. This was a formal audience between the king and Bath-sheba amid the succession crisis over Solomon.
