And King David said, call me Zadok the priest, etc.] Not Abiathar the high priest, for he had joined Adonijah; and besides Zadok was David’s favourite priest, and for him the high priesthood was designed, as it was in a little time translated to him: and Nathan the prophet; who very probably went out of the room when Bathsheba was called in: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; the captain of his guards: and they came before the king; who it is very likely sat up in his bed, and they stood around him.
