1 Reis 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 Reis 1:20 In-Context

18 Mas agora Adonias se tornou rei, sem que o rei, meu senhor, o soubesse.

19 Ele sacrificou muitos bois, novilhos gordos e ovelhas, e convidou todos os filhos do rei, o sacerdote Abiatar e Joabe, o comandante do exército, mas não convidou o teu servo Salomão.

20 Agora, ó rei, meu senhor, os olhos de todo o Israel estão sobre ti para saber de tua parte quem sucederá ao rei, meu senhor, no trono.

21 De outro modo, tão logo o rei, meu senhor, descanse com os seus antepassados, eu e o meu filho Salomão seremos tratados como traidores”.

22 Ela ainda conversava com o rei, quando o profeta Natã chegou.
