Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 1:11

11 ¶ Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon , saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not ?

Being prompted to it both by his Piety in fulfilling the will of God declared to him, and by him to David concerning Solomon's Succession, 2 Sam. 7. 13. 1 Chron. 22. 8, 9. and by his prudence, as knowing that Adonijah hated him for being the principal instrument of Solomon's advancement.

Who being retired and private in her appartment, was yet ignorant of what was done abroad: and, who was likely to be most zealous in the cause, and most prevalent with David.

So far is he from consenting to it, as thou mayest fear, or others think, that they have not yet acquainted him with it.
