# he will sit on my throne in my place
Sitting on the throne is a metonym for being king. See how you translated similar words in [1 Kings 1:13 ](./13.md ). AT: "he will take my place and be king just as I was" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

Bathsheba knew David would not live forever; this is a way of saying that he is a good king. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])
