1 Reyes 1:49 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:49

And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah [were] afraid,
&c.] Though many of them were military men, the general of the army, and the captains thereof, ( 1 Kings 1:19 1 Kings 1:25 ) ; yet they were struck with a panic, their courage failed them, they had no spirit left in them, their hearts became as weak as water; had they exerted themselves according to their character, betaken themselves to arms, and put themselves at the head of their troops in favour of Adonijah, it would have given Solomon and his friends a great deal of trouble; no doubt this panic was of God:

and rose up, and went every man his way;
or to his house, as the Arabic version; on hearing what Jonathan reported, they immediately rose up from table in great haste, and made the best of their way to their houses, that it might not be known that they had been with Adonijah.

1 Reyes 1:49 In-Context

47 y los funcionarios de la corte han ido a felicitar a nuestro señor, el rey David. Hasta le desearon que su Dios hiciera el nombre de Salomón más famoso todavía que el de David, y que engrandeciera el trono de Salomón más que el suyo. Ante eso, el rey se inclinó en su cama

48 y dijo: “¡Alabado sea el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, que hoy me ha concedido ver a mi sucesor sentarse en mi trono!”

49 Al oír eso, todos los invitados de Adonías se levantaron llenos de miedo y se dispersaron.

50 Adonías, por temor a Salomón, se refugió en el santuario, en donde se agarró de los cuernos del altar.

51 No faltó quien fuera a decirle a Salomón:—Adonías tiene miedo de Su Majestad y está agarrado de los cuernos del altar. Ha dicho: “¡Quiero que hoy mismo jure el rey Salomón que no condenará a muerte a este servidor suyo!”
