1 Re 1:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:12

Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel,
&c.] How to conduct in this affair, which she being a woman, and no doubt surprised and confounded at this relation, might be at a loss what to do; wherefore Nathan, being a wise man, and a faithful friend, offers to give the best advice he could, and desires her attention to it: says he,

that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon;
which would be the usurper's first care to take away, that he might have no rival, and none to disturb him in his government; which step has been often taken by usurpers to secure themselves, see ( Judges 9:5 ) .

1 Re 1:12 In-Context

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?
14 Ed ecco che mentre tu starai ancora quivi parlando col re, io entrerò dopo di te, e confermerò le tue parole".
