Bible Commentary for 1 Kings 1:8

Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 1:8


1:6 Displeased him - This is noted as David's great error, and theoccasion of Adonijah's presumption. Saying - He neither restrainedhim from, nor reproved him for his miscarriages: which David well knewwas a great sin. Goodly man - This was a second ground of his confidence,because his great comeliness made him amiable in the peoples eyes.

1:7 They helped - Either because they thought the right of the crownwas his: or to secure and advance their own interest. It seems God leftthem to themselves, to correct them for former miscarriages, with a rod oftheir own making.

1:10 Called not - Because he knew they favoured Solomon hiscompetitor.
