ride upon the king’s mule
on 1 Kings 1:44-46
Jonathan's account matches the narrator's own report of verses thirty-eight and thirty-nine point for point, Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, the king's mule, the anointing at Gihon. He adds that Solomon already sitteth on the throne of the kingdom, present tense, the crisis resolved before Adonijah's feast has finished its meal. A single eyewitness report ends a rebellion that speeches and oaths alone could not have stopped in time.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom. Where he was placed to exercise his regal power when returned to Jerusalem, as a further token and confirmation of his being really and actually king.
Adonijah thought to have stepped into the throne before him, but Solomon was too quick for him. With what general satisfaction Solomon was made king, so that that which was done was not likely to be undone again.

proposed
The arrival of a trusty messenger, who gave a full detail of the coronation ceremony [1Ki 1:43-48], spread dismay in their camp. The wicked and ambitious plot they had assembled to execute was dissipated, and every one of the conspirators consulted his safety by flight. ADONIJAH, FLEEING TO THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR, IS DISMISSED BY SOLOMON.
