Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And King David said, call me Zadok the priest,.... 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.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

The combination of the high priest, the prophet, and the captain of the bodyguard (the Cherethites and Pelethites, 1Ki 1:38), would show the people that the proceedings had the king’s sanction. The order of the names marks the position of the persons with respect to the matter in hand.
