And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
The moment belongs to Adonijah's rebellion against David's throne. While Bathsheba was telling David that Adonijah had claimed the kingship for himself, Nathan the prophet arrived. He came in to join her in bringing the crisis to the king's attention.
Their appeal was timely and united, with both witnesses pressing the danger upon David together. It moved David to act at once to uphold God's appointment of Solomon as his successor.
