1 Kings 2:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 2:13

And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba, the mother
of Solomon
Into her apartment; Abarbinel thinks it was a few days after the death of David:

and she said, comest thou peaceably?
in a friendly manner, with no ill design, only to pay a friendly visit; for she might fear he came to avenge himself on her, and destroy her, because she had been the instrument of disappointing him of the kingdom, and of getting her son Solomon set upon the throne, and established in it; and therefore could not tell what envy, rage, and disappointment, might prompt him to:

and he said, peaceably;
he meant no harm unto her.

1 Kings 2:13 In-Context

11 The days that David reigned over Yisra'el were forty years; seven years reigned he in Hevron, and thirty-three years reigned he in Yerushalayim.

12 Shlomo sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

13 Then Adoniyahu the son of Haggit came to Bat-Sheva the mother of Shlomo. She said, Come you peaceably? He said, Peaceably.

14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to tell you. She said, Say on.

15 He said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Yisra'el set their faces on me, that I should reign: however the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.
