1 Reis 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 Reis 1:18 In-Context

16 Bate-Seba ajoelhou-se e prostrou-se com o rosto em terra, diante do rei.“O que você quer?”, o rei perguntou.

17 Ela respondeu: “Meu senhor, tu mesmo juraste a esta tua serva, pelo SENHOR, o teu Deus: ‘Seu filho Salomão me sucederá como rei e se assentará no meu trono’.

18 Mas agora Adonias se tornou rei, sem que o rei, meu senhor, o soubesse.

19 Ele sacrificou muitos bois, novilhos gordos e ovelhas, e convidou todos os filhos do rei, o sacerdote Abiatar e Joabe, o comandante do exército, mas não convidou o teu servo Salomão.

20 Agora, ó rei, meu senhor, os olhos de todo o Israel estão sobre ti para saber de tua parte quem sucederá ao rei, meu senhor, no trono.
