Contextual Overview

11 Then Nathan said to Solomon's mother Bathsheba, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it? 12 So now come, let me give you words of wisdom and save your life and the life of your son Solomon. 13 Go to King David and say to him, ‘My lord, O king, have you not promised your woman servant, saying, "For sure your son Solomon will be king after me. He will sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?' 14 While you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and tell him your words are true." 15 So Bathsheba went to the king in his room. The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was helping him. 16 Bathsheba put her face to the ground in front of the king. And the king said, "What do you wish?" 17 She said to him, "My lord, you promised your woman servant by the Lord your God, saying, ‘For sure your son Solomon will be king after me. He will sit on my throne.' 18 Now, see, Adonijah is king. And my lord the king, you do not know it. 19 He has killed many cattle and sheep and fat animals. He has asked all the king's sons and Abiathar the religious leader and Joab the captain of the army to come. But he has not asked your servant Solomon to come. 20 Now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you. They are waiting for you to tell them who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But me, [even] me thy servant,.... Meaning himself, Nathan the prophet, who was David's servant, his seer, and counsellor:

and Zadok the priest; for whom David had a great respect:

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who was captain of his bodyguards; here Nathan observes more than Bathsheba had, and supplies what she had omitted, and so filled up her words, as in 1 Kings 1:14;

and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called; which showed his ill intention.
