Nathan said
Nathan, the prophet, plays a crucial role in the narrative of 1 Kings. His name in Hebrew, נָתָן (Natan), means "He has given," which is fitting as Nathan is a gift to King David, providing divine guidance and counsel. Nathan's presence here underscores the importance of prophetic voices in the governance of Israel, serving as a reminder that true leadership is accountable to God's will.

Have you, my lord the king
This phrase reflects the respect and deference shown to King David, even as he nears the end of his reign. The Hebrew word for "lord" is אֲדֹנִי (Adoni), which conveys both authority and reverence. It is a reminder of the divinely appointed role of kingship in Israel, where the king is seen as God's representative on earth, tasked with upholding justice and righteousness.

declared that Adonijah shall reign after you
The word "declared" in Hebrew is אָמַר (Amar), meaning to say or speak. This highlights the power of the king's word in determining succession. Adonijah, whose name means "Yahweh is my Lord," is attempting to assert his claim to the throne. This phrase raises the tension in the narrative, as it questions whether David has indeed sanctioned Adonijah's actions, which would have significant implications for the future of Israel.

and that he shall sit on your throne
The throne symbolizes authority and the continuation of David's dynasty. In Hebrew, the word for "throne" is כִּסֵּא (Kisse), which not only represents physical power but also the divine covenant with David that his lineage would endure. This phrase emphasizes the gravity of the situation, as the rightful heir to the throne is a matter of divine promise and national stability.

(24) Hast thou said.--The question here and in 1Kings 1:27 is, of course, merely intended to draw out denial; but it is singularly true to nature that it does so by the assumption (natural in court language) that nothing of such a kind could be even conceived as done without the king's will. There is something striking in the contrast of the deference of Nathan as a counsellor on state business with the bold superiority of his tone in the discharge of his true prophetic office (as in 2Samuel 7:2-17; 2Samuel 12:1-14).

Verse 24. - And Nathan said, My Lord, O king, hast thou said [the Hebrews has no question, but a strong affirmation: "thou hast said," i.e., "thou must have said (Du hast wohl gesagt." Bahr). Nathan puts it thus forcibly, in order to draw from the king a disclaimer], Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? [Same words as in vers. 13, 17, and possibly designedly so. The coincidence conveys the meaning, "Thou hast sworn Solomon shall reign," etc. "Thou hast said, Adonijah shall reign," etc.]
