1 Kings 2:13

“And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon, etc.] Into her apartment; Abarbinel thinks it was a few days after the death of David: and she said, comest thou peaceably? in a friendly manner, with no ill design, only to pay a friendly visit; for she might fear he came to avenge himself on her, and destroy her, because she had been the instrument of disappointing him of the kingdom, and of getting her son Solomon set upon the throne, and established in it; and therefore could not tell what envy, rage, and disappointment, might prompt him to: and he said, peaceably; he meant no harm unto her.”

“Adonijah . . . came to Bath-sheba--Her question to him betrays an apprehension which his recent conduct might well warrant; but his pious acknowledgment of the divine will seemed apparently to indicate so entire an acquiescence in the settlement of the succession [Kg1 2:15], that, in her womanly simplicity, she perceived not the deep cunning and evil design that was concealed under his request and readily undertook to promote his wishes.”

“2:13-15 Adonijah contradicted his supposed peaceful intentions when he declared, the kingdom was rightfully mine.”

“Adonijah: Kg1 1:5-10, Kg1 1:50-53 Comest: Sa1 16:4, Sa1 16:5; Kg2 9:18-22; Ch1 12:17, Ch1 12:18; Luk 10:5, Luk 10:6 3 Kings (1 Kings) 2:14”
