1 Kings / Question
Question source
1 Kings
Adonijah was supported by Joab the commander and Abiathar the priest (1 Kings 1:7). He did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or Solomon (1 Kings 1:8). The guest list shows a split among David’s key leaders.
7He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
8But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
