Verse 8

But Zadok the priest ,.... Who bid fair to be the high priest on Solomon's coming to the throne as he was:

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ; who was near David's person, and over his bodyguards, the Cherethites and Pelethites:

and Nathan the prophet ; a very great intimate of David's, and his seer, whom he consulted on all occasions:

and Shimei ; who, according to Abarbinel, was Shimei the son of Gera, who had cursed David, and was afraid of entering into the conspiracy, lest he should be involved in trouble again: though some think this may be that Shimei, one of Solomon's twelve officers, as after constituted, 1 Kings 4:18 ;

and Rei ; whom the same writer takes to be Hushai the Archite, David's friend:

and the mighty men which belonged to David ; that were about his person, his guards, the Cherethites and Pelethites:

were not with Adonijah ; they did not join him, and indeed were not invited by him.
