He pretends it as if David has ordered Adonijah to succeed him. In doing so, he presents the case as it has been brought about. He tells David what Adonijah did and said. What he wants to know from David is whether he really gave the command, for none of the faithful knows anything about it. His question is whether David wants to give clarity.
