Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Kings 1:11
NATHAN MASTERMINDED A PLAN TO THWART ADONIJAH"Then Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not? Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign... read more

BATHSHEBA'S APPEAL TO DAVID"And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering unto the king. And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldst thou? And she said unto him, My lord, thou swearest by Jehovah thy God unto thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne. And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and thou, my lord the king,... read more

For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 1:12
1 Kings 1:12. That thou mayest save thine own life, &c.— Both Solomon and Bath-sheba would have been an immediate sacrifice, if Adonijah had succeeded in his treasonable usurpation, that he might have rid himself of a dangerous rival to the throne. Bath-sheba herself foresaw this, as appears from her address to the king, 1 Kings 1:21. There is not any other mention of the oath of David which Bath-sheba speaks of in the 13th verse. But there can be no reason to doubt that he had given her... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 1:8
8. But Zadok the priest—He had been high priest in the tabernacle at Gibeon under Saul ( :-). David, on his accession, had conjoined him and Abiathar equal in the exercise of their high functions (2 Samuel 8:17; 2 Samuel 15:24; 2 Samuel 15:29; 2 Samuel 15:35). But it is extremely probable that some cause of jealousy or discord between them had arisen, and hence each lent his countenance and support to opposite parties. Benaiah—Distinguished for his bravery (1 Samuel 23:20), he had been... read more

now. A special reading (Sevir, App-34 ), with three early printed editions, Aramaean, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "thou". But the Massorah ( App-30 ) says the scribes were misled in reading 'attah (thou) instead of 'attah (now). read more
