1 Kings 1:18

Adonijah reigneth i.e. Is being set up for king, and will be accepted, unless some word from David go forth to prevent it. With the commander-in-chief, and the highpriest Abiathar on his side Adonijah's following might well seem powerful.

and now, my lord the king, thou knowestit not The Hebrew words for thouאתה and nowעתה vary only in one letter, and in sound are very much alike. Hence it has come to pass that in this verse and 1 Kings 1:20 there is a confusion; and here in some copies thouis put instead of now:-and thou, my lord … knowest it not."
