Selagi ia berbicara, datanglah Yonatan anak imam Abyatar. Lalu Adonia berkata: "Masuklah, sebab engkau seorang kesatria dan tentulah engkau membawa kabar baik."
Maka sementara ia lagi berkata-kata datanglah Yonatan bin Abyatar, yang imam, lalu kata Adonia: Marilah engkau masuk, karena engkau juga orang berani dan engkaupun memberi kabar baik akan kami.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Jonathan: 2 Samuel 15:36, 2 Samuel 17:17
a valiant: 1 Kings 22:18, 2 Samuel 18:27, 2 Kings 9:22, Isaiah 57:21, 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:3
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came,.... Whom his father had left in the city, to observe what passed there, and give him notice of it:
and Adonijah said unto him, come in, for thou [art] a valiant man, and bringest good tidings; which seems to be not a very wise speech, as if there was a connection between being valiant, and bringing good news, or that the one had any influence upon the other; though perhaps it means no more than a good man, "a man of virtue" i, as it may be rendered; one that fears sin, as the Targum, and so would report nothing but what was true, and therefore might be depended on; see
2 Samuel 18:27; the same phrase is rendered "a worthy man", 1 Kings 1:52.
i איש חיל "vir virtutis", Montanus, Vatablus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jonathan had acted in a similar capacity, as a carrier of intelligence, in the time of Absalom’s attempt 2 Samuel 15:36; 2 Samuel 17:17; but at that time, like his father, he was faithful to David, and “a valiant man,” “a virtuous man,” or “a man of worth.” (See 1 Kings 1:52; Proverbs 12:4.)
