1 Re 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:11

Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon,
&c.] Who not only had an interest in the king, being his wife, and an easy access to him, but had a special concern in this affair, as it affected her son, to whom the succession of the kingdom was designed and promised:

saying, hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth
reign?
has usurped the throne, and is proclaimed king by a party, who at least have drank his health as such; has taken the title, and is about to exercise the power of a king; this Bathsheba might not have heard of, and which he expresses in this manner to quicken her to make an immediate application to the king:

and David our Lord knoweth [it] not;
being so infirm, and in his bed, and nobody about him to inform him of it; it was done without his knowledge, and far from being with his consent and approbation.

1 Re 1:11 In-Context

9 Adonija immolò pecore, buoi e vitelli grassi vicino al masso di Zohelet che è accanto alla fontana di Roghel, e invitò tutti i suoi fratelli, figliuoli del re, e tutti gli uomini di Giuda ch’erano al servizio del re;
10 ma non invitò il profeta Nathan, né Benaia, né gli uomini prodi, né Salomone suo fratello.
11 Allora Nathan parlò a Bath-Sceba, madre di Salomone, e le disse: "Non hai udito che Adonija, figliuolo di Hagghith, è diventato re senza che Davide nostro signore ne sappia nulla?
12 Or dunque vieni, e permetti ch’io ti dia un consiglio, affinché tu salvi la vita tua e quella del tuo figliuolo Salomone.
13 Va’, entra dal re Davide, e digli: O re, mio signore, non giurasti tu alla tua serva, dicendo: Salomone, tuo figliuolo, regnerà dopo di me e sederà sul mio trono? Perché dunque regna Adonija?
