Commentary on 1 Kings 1:43

Theological / Devotional

Our lord king David. As long as David was alive, or until such a time as a successor was officially appointed, David’s word was law. Unless Adonijah was ready to support his revolt by force of arms, he and those with him could only acknowledge that the will of the old king was still the will of the state, and that his decrees would be carried out.
