Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon [the person after Solomon most directly concerned and also best fitted to approach the king] saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith [possibly there is a touch of worldly wisdom here, as Rawlinson suggests, "Haggith, thy rival." We may be sure David's harem was not without its fierce jealousies. But (see ver. 5, and 1 Kings 2:13) the patronymic is so common in Hebrews that we cannot safely found an argument upon it. See on chap. 2:5] doth reign [Hebrews did reign. LXX. ἐβασίλευσαεν, aor. = "succeeded." "Schon so gut wie Konig geworden ist." Bahr and Keil] and David our Lord knoweth it not.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Wherefore Nathan.--The initiative taken by Nathan is especially natural, since he had been the medium both of the prophecy to David of the son who should build the Lord's house (2Samuel 7:12-15), and also of the blessing on Solomon, embodied in the name Jedidiah ("beloved of Jehovah," 2Samuel 12:25). Perhaps for this very reason the conspirators had altogether held aloof from him.
