Ralbag on I Kings
And he came and prostrated himself before King Solomon, and Solomon said to him: It would appear that because Solomon said to him, "if he shall show himself a worthy man," Adonijah thought that [Solomon] would want [him] to stand before him and serve him, and thus he did not want to take leave of him without permission. And when Solomon felt this, he said to him that he should go to his house.
