1 Kings 1:7 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 1:7

5 Then ^aAdonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will² be king”; and ^bhe prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

6 (And his father had not¹ rebuked him at any time by saying, “Why have you done so?” He was also very good-looking. ^aHis mother had borne him after Absalom.)

7 Then he conferred with ^aJoab the son of Zeruiah and with ^bAbiathar the priest, and ^cthey followed and helped Adonijah.

8 But ^aZadok the priest, ^bBenaiah the son of Jehoiada, ^cNathan the prophet, ^dShimei, Rei, and ^ethe mighty men who belonged to David were not with Adonijah.

9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fattened cattle by the stone of¹ Zoheleth, which is by ^aEn Rogel; he also invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants.
