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 inclinou a cabeça, e se prostrou perante o rei. Então o rei lhe perguntou: Que queres?

17 Respondeu-lhe ela: Senhor meu, tu juraste � tua serva pelo Senhor teu Deus, dizendo: Salomão, teu filho, reinará depois de mim, e se assentará no meu trono.

18 E agora eis que Adonias reina; e tu, ó rei meu senhor, não o sabes.

19 Ele matou bois, animais cevados e ovelhas em abundância, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e a Abiatar, o sacerdote, e a Joabe, general do exército; mas a teu servo Salomão não o convidou.

20 Mas, ó rei meu senhor, os olhos de todo o Israel estão sobre ti, para que lhes declares quem há de assentar-se no teu trono depois de ti.
