Tafsiran 1 Raja-raja 1:15: Tze'enah Ure'enah

“And Bathsheba came to the king in his chamber, etc.” [1:15]. Bathsheba came to the king in his chamber where Abishag the beautiful maiden was lying with David in one bed. The verse teaches us that nobody had permission to enter the room where David lay with Abishag. However, because Bathsheba was a queen, she went in without permission and did not fear to enter the chamber.¹²Radak, I Kings, 1:15. Bathsheba bowed to the king. The king said to her: what do you desire? She said: my lord king, you swore to me that Solomon your son should sit on the royal throne and now Adonijah has become king. You, my lord king, know nothing about this. He has slaughtered many sheep and cattle and has called all the children of the king and also called Abiathar the priest and he has also called Joab the chieftain, but your son, Solomon, he did not call. The reason Adonijah made this banquet is because he wants to be king. That is why he did not invite Solomon to the banquet. He invited all those people to the banquet who would help him become king. You, my lord king, know well that all of Israel is looking to you, whom will you say the king should be.
