1 Reyes 1:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:18

And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth
Has set up himself as king, and is by some saluted as such; but lest it should be thought by David that she suggested by this that he was guilty of the breach of his oath, or on any account to be blamed, she adds:

and now my lord, O king, thou knowest [it] not;
which as it acquitted him from all blame, so it made the sin of Adonijah the more heinous, that he should do this without consulting his father about it; and was not only neglect of him as a father, and an act of disrespect and disobedience to him as such, but even of high treason, to assume the throne in his father's lifetime, without his consent.

1 Reyes 1:18 In-Context

16 y se inclinó ante él.
—¿En qué te puedo ayudar? —le preguntó el rey.

17 Ella le contestó:
—Mi señor, usted hizo un juramento delante del Señor
su Dios cuando me dijo: “Te aseguro que tu hijo Salomón será el próximo rey y se sentará en mi trono”.

18 Sin embargo, Adonías se proclamó rey, y mi señor el rey ni siquiera se ha enterado.

19 Ha sacrificado gran cantidad de ganado, terneros engordados y ovejas, y ha invitado a todos los hijos del rey a la celebración. También invitó al sacerdote Abiatar y a Joab, comandante del ejército, pero no invitó a su siervo Salomón.

20 Y ahora, mi señor el rey, todo Israel está esperando que usted anuncie quién será el próximo rey.
