Biblical typology
1 Kings 2:19–20
The king’s mother
19 Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand.
20 And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee; do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother ask, for I must not turn away thy face.

Why this matters
Solomon honors Bathsheba and seats her at his right hand. Catholic interpretation uses the Davidic queen mother as a pattern for Mary’s relation to Christ the King. Bathsheba is the literal subject, and this passage does not establish that every request of a queen mother is granted.
