1 Reyes 1:49 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:49

And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah [were] afraid,
&c.] Though many of them were military men, the general of the army, and the captains thereof, ( 1 Kings 1:19 1 Kings 1:25 ) ; yet they were struck with a panic, their courage failed them, they had no spirit left in them, their hearts became as weak as water; had they exerted themselves according to their character, betaken themselves to arms, and put themselves at the head of their troops in favour of Adonijah, it would have given Solomon and his friends a great deal of trouble; no doubt this panic was of God:

and rose up, and went every man his way;
or to his house, as the Arabic version; on hearing what Jonathan reported, they immediately rose up from table in great haste, and made the best of their way to their houses, that it might not be known that they had been with Adonijah.

47 y todos los funcionarios reales han ido a felicitar al rey David y a decirle: “¡Que su Dios aumente la fama de Salomón aún más que la suya, y que engrandezca el reinado de Salomón aún más que el suyo!”. Entonces el rey inclinó la cabeza en adoración mientras estaba en su cama

48 y dijo: “Alabado sea el Señor
, Dios de Israel, quien el día de hoy ha escogido a un sucesor que se siente en mi trono mientras yo aún vivo para presenciarlo”.

49 Entonces todos los invitados de Adonías, presos del pánico, saltaron de la mesa del banquete y se dispersaron velozmente.

50 Adonías tuvo miedo de Salomón, por lo que corrió a la carpa sagrada y se agarró de los cuernos del altar.

51 Pronto llegó a Salomón la noticia de que Adonías, por temor, se había agarrado de los cuernos del altar y rogaba: «¡Que el rey Salomón jure hoy que no me matará!».
