This phrase indicates a strong negation, suggesting that the previous assumption or expectation was incorrect. In the context of 1 Kings 1, Adonijah, David's son, had declared himself king without David's approval. Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, brings news that contradicts Adonijah's claim. This reflects the tension and uncertainty surrounding the royal succession, a common theme in monarchies of the ancient Near East. The phrase also highlights the role of messengers in conveying critical information, a vital function in a time without modern communication. “Our lord King David” “has made Solomon king.” Persons / Places / Events 1.

The Importance of Obedience and Faithfulness David's obedience to God's will in appointing Solomon demonstrates the importance of aligning our actions with God's directives. The Role of Messengers in God's Plan Jonathan's role as a messenger highlights how God uses individuals to communicate His will and bring about His purposes. The Consequences of Self-Exaltation Adonijah's attempt to seize the throne serves as a warning against self-exaltation and the importance of humility before God.
