1 Kings 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:10

But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and
Solomon his brother, he called not.
] Did not invite them to this feast; not Nathan, who he might know had prophesied of Solomon's succession in the throne, and therefore it could not be thought he would be drawn over to him; nor "Benaiah and the mighty men"; David's bodyguards, over whom this officer was; and still less Solomon, his competitor and rival.

1 Kings 1:10 In-Context

8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty warriors were David's; they were not with Adonijah.
9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened animals near the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel. He invited all of his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty warriors or Solomon his brother.
11 Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, but our lord David does not know?
12 So then, come, let me advise you please, {that you may save} your life and the life of your son, Solomon.
