Contextual Overview
5At that time Adonijah, David's son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, "I will be king!" And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him. 6(His father had never once reprimanded him by saying, "Why do you act this way?" Adonijah was also very handsome, born next after Absalom.) 7So Adonijah conferred with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, who supported him. 8But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's mighty men would not join Adonijah.9And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth, which is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the king. 10But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But Zadok the priest,.... Who bid fair to be the high priest on Solomon's coming to the throne as he was:
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who was near David's person, and over his bodyguards, the Cherethites and Pelethites:
and Nathan the prophet; a very great intimate of David's, and his seer, whom he consulted on all occasions:
and Shimei; who, according to Abarbinel, was Shimei the son of Gera, who had cursed David, and was afraid of entering into the conspiracy, lest he should be involved in trouble again: though some think this may be that Shimei, one of Solomon's twelve officers, as after constituted, 1 Kings 4:18;
and Rei; whom the same writer takes to be Hushai the Archite, David's friend:
and the mighty men which [belonged] to David; that were about his person, his guards, the Cherethites and Pelethites:
were not with Adonijah; they did not join him, and indeed were not invited by him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
There is some difficulty in understanding how Zadok and Abiathar came to be both âpriestsâ at this time, and in what relation they stood to one another. The best explanation seems to be that Abiathar was the real high priest, and officiated at the sanctuary containing the ark of the covenant in Zion, while Zadok performed the offices of chief priest at the tabernacle of Witness at Gibeon 1 Chronicles 16:39.
For Benaiah, see 2 Samuel 8:18; 2 Samuel 20:23; 2 Samuel 23:20-21. For Nathan, see 2Sa 7:2-3, 2 Samuel 7:17; 2 Samuel 12:1-15, 2 Samuel 12:25. As privy to all Davidâs plans 1 Kings 1:24, he had no doubt fully approved the order of succession which the king was known to intend.
Shimei and Rei - Shimei and Rei are perhaps Davidâs two brothers, Shimma and Raddai 1 Chronicles 2:13-14.
Mighty men - Probably the company of 600, originally formed during Davidâs early wanderings 1 Samuel 25:13; 1 Samuel 27:2, and afterward maintained as the most essential element of his standing army.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 1:8. And Nathan — Some suppose that he was the preceptor of Solomon.
