Contextual Overview

41 Adonijah and all who had been asked to be with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the horn, he said, "Why is there such a noise in the city?" 42 While he was still speaking, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the religious leader came. Adonijah said, "Come in, for you are a man to be trusted, and bring good news." 43 But Jonathan said to Adonijah, "No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king. 44 The king has sent with him Zadok the religious leader, Nathan the man of God, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites and the Pelethites. And they have made him travel on the king's horse. 45 Zadok the religious leader and Nathan the man of God have set him apart as king in Gihon. They have come up from there filled with joy, so there is much noise in the city. This is the noise you have heard. 46 Solomon sits upon the throne of the king. 47 What is more, the king's servants came to give honor to our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!' And the king put his face down upon the bed. 48 The king said, ‘Thanks be to the Lord, the God of Israel. He has given one to sit on my throne today while my own eyes see it.'" 49 Then all those with Adonijah were filled with fear. Each of them got up and went his own way. 50 And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon. He got up and went and took hold of the horns of the altar.
