1 Kings 1:1-10
Adonijah whose mother was Haggith, put himself forward and said, "I will be king." So he got chariots and horses ready with fifty men to run ahead of him. His father had never interfered with him by asking "Why do you behave as you do?" He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.
King David is now an old man. Thoughts turn to his successor. With to his three elder brothers dead. Adonijah is heir apparent.
He has the backing of Joab, the army commander, and Abiathar, one of the two chief priests. But the throne has been promised to Adoniah's half-brother Solomon.
Enrogel was on the boundary between Benjamin and Judah.
Why?
Adonijah wanted to be king after David is dead, so he used his way to got the position of king in Israel, but without his father's word or God's direction.
Adonihah tried to stop Solomon to be heir of king.
Do not be obscured by the ambition of our heart, desire and ambition may overcome the way of the Lord.
How?
Let me do not obscured by my desire but follow the way of God's desire.
