Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon,.... Who not only had an interest in the king, being his wife, and an easy access to him, but had a special concern in this affair, as it affected her son, to whom the succession of the kingdom was designed and promised:
saying, hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign? has usurped the throne, and is proclaimed king by a party, who at least have drank his health as such; has taken the title, and is about to exercise the power of a king; this Bathsheba might not have heard of, and which he expresses in this manner to quicken her to make an immediate application to the king:
and David our Lord knoweth [it] not; being so infirm, and in his bed, and nobody about him to inform him of it; it was done without his knowledge, and far from being with his consent and approbation.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The son of Haggith - Compare the margin reference. This expression was well chosen to touch the pride of Bath-sheba. âAdonijah; not thy son, but the son of thy rival, Haggith.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 1:11. Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign — He was now considered as being legally appointed to the regal office, and no doubt was about to begin to perform its functions.
