It certainly seems as though this relationship might be why... it also illustrates the significance of Nathan being left out of the counsel of Adonijah as well (1 Kings 1:10), for why else would Nathan be so concerned with the possible succession of this particular son of David?

King David's seed was not through Solomon, it was through Nathan to Mary to Jesus. So, it was the guy that spoke the word of God, not the "wise" son.
