1 Re 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 Re 1:11 In-Context

9 Or Adonia ammazzò pecore e buoi, ed animali grassi, presso alla pietra di Zohelet, ch’è vicin della fonte di Roghel; e invitò tutti i suoi fratelli, figliuoli del re, e tutti gli uomini di Giuda ch’erano al servigio del re;
10 ma non invitò il profeta Natan, nè Benaia, nè gli uomini prodi, nè Salomone, suo fratello.
11 E Natan disse a Batseba, madre di Salomone: Non hai tu udito che Adonia, figliuolo di Hagghit, è stato fatto re, senza che Davide, nostro signore, ne sappia nulla?
12 Ora dunque vieni, e permetti, ti prego, che io ti dia un consiglio, acciocchè tu scampi la vita tua, e la vita di Salomone, tuo figliuolo.
13 Va’, ed entra dal re Davide, e digli: Non hai tu, o re, mio signore, giurato alla tua servente, dicendo: Certo, Salomone, tuo figliuolo, regnerà dopo me, e sederà in sul mio trono? perchè dunque è stato fatto re Adonia?
