1 Kings 1:23
And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
And they told the king,.... 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.
