Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 1:13

13 Go, and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine hand maid , saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne ? Why then doth Adonijah reign ▪

i. e. Thou didst Swear; which David himself owneth, v. 30. which probably he did to satisfie Bathsheba's doubts and fears about it, and to oblige himself to a compliance with the Divine will declared about it. See chap. 2. 15. and 1 Chron. 28. 5.

So she calleth her self, to testify her reverence and subjection to him, not onely as her Husband, but as her King.

Another expression of the same thing, to signify David's sincerity and fervency in his Swearing, which adds to his obligation.

How comes this to pass? Or why do[illegible: 1+ letters]t thou suffer it?
