Kings I 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.
