We see in the story of king David's successor the truth that God humbles the proud and exalts the humble. Adonijah proclaimed himself king. David's silence was taken as approval. But in his pride he singled out Solomon, making it plain that he was undesirable. Solomon was either ignorant of this reality or he knew this and depended upon God to deliver him. In the end the roles were reversed; Solomon sat on the throne and Adonijah wondered what would happen to him.
