General Information:
Nathan the prophet continues to speak to King David.
Has my master the king done this without telling us, your servants, who should sit on the throne after him?
Nathan refers to David in the third person. This is a way of showing respect to the king. It can be stated in second person. AT: "Have you, my master the king, done this without telling us, your servants, who should sit on the throne after you?" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)
who should sit on the throne
Sitting on the throne is a metonym for being king. See how you translated similar words in 1 Kings 1:13. AT: "who would be king after him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
