1 Reyes 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:11

Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon,
&c.] Who not only had an interest in the king, being his wife, and an easy access to him, but had a special concern in this affair, as it affected her son, to whom the succession of the kingdom was designed and promised:

saying, hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth
reign?
has usurped the throne, and is proclaimed king by a party, who at least have drank his health as such; has taken the title, and is about to exercise the power of a king; this Bathsheba might not have heard of, and which he expresses in this manner to quicken her to make an immediate application to the king:

and David our Lord knoweth [it] not;
being so infirm, and in his bed, and nobody about him to inform him of it; it was done without his knowledge, and far from being with his consent and approbation.

1 Reyes 1:11 In-Context

9 Y Adonías sacrificó ovejas, bueyes y animales cebados junto a la piedra de Zohélet , que está al lado de En-rogel; e invitó a todos sus hermanos, los hijos del rey, y a todos los hombres de Judá, siervos del rey.

10 Pero no invitó al profeta Natán, ni a Benaía, ni a los valientes, ni a Salomón su hermano.

11 Entonces Natán habló a Betsabé, madre de Salomón, diciendo: ¿No has oído que Adonías, hijo de Haguit, se ha hecho rey y que David nuestro señor no lo sabe?

12 Ahora pues, ven, voy a darte un consejo para que salves tu vida y la vida de tu hijo Salomón.

13 Ve ahora mismo al rey David y dile: "¿No has jurado tú, oh rey mi señor, a tu sierva, diciendo: 'Ciertamente tu hijo Salomón será rey después de mí y se sentará en mi trono'? ¿Por qué, pues, se ha hecho rey Adonías?"
