Melachim Alef 1:26

26 But me, even me thy eved, and Tzadok HaKohen, and Benayah Ben Yehoyada, and thy eved Sh’lomo, hath he not invited.

Melachim Alef 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.

Melachim Alef 1:26 In-Context

24 And Natan said, Adoni HaMelech, hast thou said, Adoniyah shall reign as Melech after me, and he shall sit upon my kisse?

25 For he has gone down this day, and hath sacrificed shor and fatted bull and tzon in abundance, and hath invited all the Bnei HaMelech, and the sarei hatzava, and Evyatar (Abiathar) HaKohen; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, Yechi HaMelech Adoniyahu (long live HaMelech Adoniyah)!

26 But me, even me thy eved, and Tzadok HaKohen, and Benayah Ben Yehoyada, and thy eved Sh’lomo, hath he not invited.

27 Is this thing done by adoni HaMelech, and thou hast not showed it unto thy eved, even who should sit on the kisse adoni HaMelech after him?

28 Then HaMelech Dovid answered and said, Call me Bat-Sheva. And she came into the presence of HaMelech, and stood before HaMelech.
