1 Reyes 1:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:20

And thou, my lord, O king
As for thee, or what concerns thee, or is incumbent on thee, will appear from the expectations of the people:

the eyes of all Israel [are] upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them
who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him;
this she said, to dissipate any fears that might possess his mind on hearing what Adonijah had done, that the people in general had assented to it, and encouraged him to it; whereas the body of the people were waiting to hear what was the will and determination of David: for they not only considered him as having a power to name a successor, as was afterwards done by Rehoboam, but as one that had the mind of God revealed to him who should be his successor, to which they should pay a regard.

1 Reyes 1:20 In-Context

18 Sin embargo, Adonías se proclamó rey, y mi señor el rey ni siquiera se ha enterado.

19 Ha sacrificado gran cantidad de ganado, terneros engordados y ovejas, y ha invitado a todos los hijos del rey a la celebración. También invitó al sacerdote Abiatar y a Joab, comandante del ejército, pero no invitó a su siervo Salomón.

20 Y ahora, mi señor el rey, todo Israel está esperando que usted anuncie quién será el próximo rey.

21 Si no toma alguna medida, mi hijo Salomón y yo seremos tratados como criminales en cuanto mi señor el rey haya muerto.

22 Mientras ella aún hablaba con el rey, llegó el profeta Natán.
