1Ki 1:11-14 | MHM | STEP | David Makes Solomon King This section explains how Nathan the prophet and Bathsheba worked together to make sure Solomon became king, as David had promised. Adonijah was trying to make himself king without David’s knowledge, but God’s plan was for Solomon to reign. Bathsheba and Nathan acted quickly and wisely to remind David of his oath and to protect Solomon’s legacy. v. 11 : Nathan went to Bathsheba and told her about Adonijah’s plan to make himself king. Nathan advised Bathsheba to go to David and remind him of his promise that Solomon would be king. Nathan said he would come in while she was talking to David and support her words (1 Kings 1:11-14 ). This was important because Adonijah’s actions not only threatened Solomon’s right to the throne, but also the lives of both Bathsheba and Solomon.
