Context — Nathan and Bathsheba before David
15So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. Since the king was very old, Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
16And Bathsheba bowed down in homage to the king, who asked, “What is your desire?”
17“My lord,” she replied, “you yourself swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God: ‘Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.’
18But now, behold, Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord the king, do not know it. 19And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he has not invited your servant Solomon.Cross References

1 Kings 1:17 Summary
[This verse tells us about a promise King David made to his wife Bathsheba, saying their son Solomon would be the next king, which is similar to the promises God makes to us, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. Bathsheba reminds David of this promise because another son of David, Adonijah, is trying to become king instead. This shows us the importance of remembering and trusting in God's promises, just like Bathsheba did, and how we can apply that to our own lives, as encouraged in Psalm 119:49-50.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the nature of the promise King David made to Bathsheba about their son Solomon?
King David had sworn to Bathsheba by the Lord his God that Solomon would reign after him and sit on his throne, as we see in this verse, a promise that was likely made when Solomon was born, as hinted in 2 Samuel 12:24-25.
Why did Bathsheba remind King David of his promise?
Bathsheba reminded King David of his promise because Adonijah, another son of David, had begun to take steps to become king, which threatened the fulfillment of David's promise to her, as seen in the following verses, 1 Kings 1:18-19.
What role does the name of the Lord play in this verse?
The name of the Lord is invoked as the basis of the oath that King David made to Bathsheba, indicating the seriousness and sacredness of the promise, similar to how oaths were made in other biblical contexts, such as in Deuteronomy 6:13 and Jeremiah 12:16.
How does this verse demonstrate the character of Bathsheba?
This verse shows Bathsheba as a woman who is aware of the promise of God through her husband and is not afraid to remind him of it, demonstrating her faith and her desire to see God's will fulfilled, much like other women of faith in the Bible, such as Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:26-28.
Reflection Questions
- What are some promises that God has made to you, and how can you remind Him of them in prayer?
- In what ways can you, like Bathsheba, stand on the promises of God and trust in His faithfulness?
- How does the example of Bathsheba encourage you to be bold in your requests to God, based on His character and previous promises?
- What are some areas in your life where you need to trust in God's promises, just as Bathsheba did, and how can you apply that trust practically?
