1 Rois 1:24

24 Et Nathan dit: O roi mon seigneur, c'est donc toi qui as dit: Adonija régnera après moi, et il s'assiéra sur mon trône!

1 Rois 1:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:24

And Nathan said, my lord, O king
He addresses him as with great veneration and respect due to his office, so as if he knew noticing of Bathsheba's application to him; and therefore begins and tells his story, as if the king had never heard anything relative to it:

hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my
throne?
surely it can never be, because of the notice which he himself had given him from the Lord, that one to be born should succeed him, plainly pointing to Solomon; and also because of the oath which he had sworn, to which Nathan was privy, that Solomon should reign after him; and yet if he had not given such orders, it was exceeding strange that Adonijah should presume to do what he had done.

1 Rois 1:24 In-Context

22 Tandis qu'elle parlait encore avec le roi, voici, Nathan le prophète arriva.

23 On l'annonça au roi, en disant: Voici Nathan le prophète! Il entra en présence du roi, et se prosterna devant le roi, le visage contre terre.

24 Et Nathan dit: O roi mon seigneur, c'est donc toi qui as dit: Adonija régnera après moi, et il s'assiéra sur mon trône!

25 Car il est descendu aujourd'hui, il a tué des boeufs, des veaux gras et des brebis en quantité; et il a invité tous les fils du roi, les chefs de l'armée, et le sacrificateur Abiathar. Et voici, ils mangent et boivent devant lui, et ils disent: Vive le roi Adonija!

26 Mais il n'a invité ni moi qui suis ton serviteur, ni le sacrificateur Tsadok, ni Benaja, fils de Jehojada, ni Salomon, ton serviteur.
