         “His father had never at any time displeased him by asking, “Why   
          have you done thus and so?” (1 Kings 1:6, ESV)   
      
       • The phrase “had never at any time displeased him” stresses a   
         continual pattern, not an isolated failure. David consistently   
         avoided confrontation, allowing Adonijah to grow without correction   
         or moral restraint (1 Kings 1:6, ESV).   
      
       • The absence of the question “Why have you done thus and so?”   
         reveals that Adonijah was never required to explain his actions.   
         Without accountability, behavior hardened into entitlement rather   
         than humility (1 Kings 1:6, ESV).   
      
       • Scripture presents corrective questioning as an act of love and   
         responsibility. David’s refusal to “displease” his son shows a   
         misplaced priority: preserving peace over pursuing righteousness (1   
         Kings 1:6, ESV).   
      
       • By never challenging Adonijah’s conduct, David silently affirmed   
         it. The text implies that unchecked permission functions as   
         endorsement, shaping Adonijah’s confidence to exalt himself as king   
         (1 Kings 1:6, ESV).   
      
       • The verse exposes how leadership failure often begins with silence.   
         David’s unwillingness to ask a simple question cultivated rebellion   
         that later threatened the stability of the kingdom (1 Kings 1:6,   
         ESV).   
      
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
