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.

1 Reyes 1:49 In-Context

47 Y aun los siervos del rey han venido a bendecir a nuestro se帽or el rey David, diciendo: Dios haga bueno el nombre de Salom贸n m谩s que tu nombre, y haga mayor su trono que el tuyo. Y el rey ador贸 en la cama.
48 Y tambi茅n el rey habl贸 as铆: Bendito sea el SE脩OR Dios de Israel, que ha dado hoy quien se siente en mi trono, vi茅ndolo mis ojos.
49 Ellos entonces se espantaron, y se levantaron todos los convidados que estaban con Adon铆as, y se fue cada uno por su camino.
50 Mas Adon铆as, temiendo de la presencia de Salom贸n, se levant贸 y se fue, y tom贸 los cuernos del altar.
51 Y fue hecho saber a Salom贸n, diciendo: He aqu铆 que Adon铆as tiene miedo del rey Salom贸n; porque ha tomado los cuernos del altar, diciendo: J煤reme hoy el rey Salom贸n que no matar谩 a cuchillo a su siervo.
