1 Rois 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 Rois 1:18 In-Context

16 Bath-Schéba s'inclina et se prosterna devant le roi. Et le roi dit: Qu'as-tu?

17 Elle lui répondit: Mon seigneur, tu as juré à ta servante par l'Eternel, ton Dieu, en disant: Salomon, ton fils, régnera après moi, et il s'assiéra sur mon trône.

18 Et maintenant voici, Adonija règne! Et tu ne le sais pas, ô roi mon seigneur!

19 Il a tué des boeufs, des veaux gras et des brebis en quantité; et il a invité tous les fils du roi, le sacrificateur Abiathar, et Joab, chef de l'armée, mais il n'a point invité Salomon, ton serviteur.

20 O roi mon seigneur, tout Israël a les yeux sur toi, pour que tu lui fasses connaître qui s'assiéra sur le trône du roi mon seigneur après lui.
