Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Had not displeased him - i. e. "His father had never checked or thwarted him all his life."

A very goodly man - Here, too, Adonijah resembled Absalom Sa2 14:25. The Jews, like the other nations of antiquity, regarded the physical qualities of rulers as of great importance, and wished their kings to be remarkable for strength, stature, and beauty Sa1 9:2. Adonijah's personal advantages no doubt helped to draw the people to him.

His mother ... - i. e. Haggith bare Adonijah after Maacah bare Absalom Sa2 3:3-4. The words in italics are not in the original; hence, some, by a slight alteration, read "David begat him."

25 But in all Israel [03478] there was none [0376] to be so much [03966] praised [01984] as Absalom [053] for his beauty [03303]: from the sole [03709] of his foot [07272] even to the crown of his head [06936] there was no blemish [03971] in him.
