The Lord sent word through Nathan the prophet. Nathan gave Solomon the name, Jedidiah. [68] Nathan did this for the Lord.
King David said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a fancy house made of cedar wood, but God’s Holy Box [49] is still kept in a tent! {We should build a nice building for the Holy Box.}”
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests. Seraiah was secretary.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites. [59] And David’s sons were important leaders. [60]
But Adonijah did not invite the men in his father’s special guard, his brother Solomon, Benaiah, or Nathan the prophet.
Adonijah {is giving a big fellowship meal. He} has killed many cows and the best sheep {for a fellowship offering}. Adonijah invited all of your sons. And he invited Abiathar the priest and Joab, the commander of your army. But he did not invite your faithful son Solomon.
My lord and king, did you do this without telling us? Please tell us, who will be the next king after you?”
But several men did not agree with what Adonijah was doing. These men remained loyal to David. They were Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and King David’s special guard. [1] So these men did not join with Adonijah.
Solomon then made Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, commander of the army in Joab’s place. Solomon also made Zadok the new high priest in Abiathar’s place.
