Abishag cherisheth David in his extreme age, 1-4. Adonijah usurpeth the kingdom, 5-10. By the counsel of Nathan to Bath-sheba, and their petition to David, he reneweth his oath of making Solomon king after him, 11-31. He, by David’s appointment, is anointed king; the people triumph, 32-40. Adonijah hearing this, his guests flee, and himself fleeth to the horns of the altar; is pardoned by Solomon, and sent to his own house, 41-53.
Matthew Henry: 'In this chapter we have, I. David declining in his health, ver. 1-4. II. Adonijah aspiring to the kingdom, and treating his party, in order to it, ver. 5-10. III. Nathan and Bathsheba contriving to secure the succession to Solomon, and prevailing for an order from David for the purpose, ver. 11-31. IV. The anointing of Solomon accordingly, and the people's joy therein, ver. 32-40. V. The effectual stop this put to Adonijah's usurpation, and the dispersion of his party thereupon, ver. 41-49. VI. Solomon's dismission of Adonijah upon his good behaviour, ver. 50-53.'
