1 Kings 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:10

But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and
Solomon his brother, he called not.
] Did not invite them to this feast; not Nathan, who he might know had prophesied of Solomon's succession in the throne, and therefore it could not be thought he would be drawn over to him; nor "Benaiah and the mighty men"; David's bodyguards, over whom this officer was; and still less Solomon, his competitor and rival.

1 Kings 1:10 In-Context

8 But the priest Zadok, Benaiah (son of Jehoiada), the prophet Nathan, Shimei, Rei, and David's [thirty] fighting men did not join Adonijah.
9 Adonijah sacrificed sheep, cattle, and fattened calves at Zoheleth Rock near En Rogel. He had invited all his brothers, the king's [other] sons, all the men of Judah, and the king's officials.
10 But he didn't invite the prophet Nathan, Benaiah, the fighting men, or his brother Solomon.
11 Then Nathan asked Solomon's mother Bathsheba, "Haven't you heard that Adonijah, Haggith's son, has become king, and our master David doesn't [even] know about it?
12 Bathsheba, let me give you some advice about how to save your life and your son's life.
