Melachim Alef 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.

Melachim Alef 2:13 In-Context

11 And the yamim that Dovid reigned as Melech over Yisroel were arba’im shanah; sheva shanim reigned he in Chevron, and shloshim v’shalosh shanim reigned he in Yerushalayim.

12 Then sat Sh’lomo upon the Kisse Dovid Aviv; and Malchuso was firmly established.

13 And Adoniyah Ben Chaggit came to Bat-Sheva Em Sh’lomo. And she said, Comest thou in shalom? And he said, Shalom.

14 He said moreover, I have davar to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

15 And he said, Thou hast da’as that the meluchah (kingdom, monarchy) was mine, and that kol Yisroel set their faces on me, that I should reign as Melech; howbeit the meluchah has veered, and is become my brother’s; for it was his from Hashem.
