And King David said, call me Zadok the priest
 Not Abiathar the high priest, for he had joined Adonijah; and besides Zadok was David's favourite priest, and for him the high priesthood was designed, as it was in a little time translated to him: 
 and Nathan the prophet;
 who very probably went out of the room when Bathsheba was called in: and 
 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada;
 the captain of his guards: 
 and they came before the king;
 who it is very likely sat up in his bed, and they stood around him.
