1 Kings 1:26

26 But he has not invited me--me your servant--nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.

1 Kings 1:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:26

But me, [even] me thy servant
Meaning himself, Nathan the prophet, who was David's servant, his seer, and counsellor:

and Zadok the priest;
for whom David had a great respect:

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada;
who was captain of his bodyguards; here Nathan observes more than Bathsheba had, and supplies what she had omitted, and so filled up her words, as in ( 1 Kings 1:14 ) ;

and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called;
which showed his ill intention.

1 Kings 1:26 In-Context

24 And Nathan said, "My lord, O king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne'?

25 For he has gone down today, and has sacrificed oxen and fattened cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and look! They are eating and drinking before him; and they say, 'Long live King Adonijah!'

26 But he has not invited me--me your servant--nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.

27 Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not told your servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"

28 Then King David answered and said, "Call Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence and stood before the king.
