I don’t remember offhand where I saw this, but I recall some Meforshim proving from the story of Shlomo, Adoniyah and Nassan (as well as from the story of Miriam waiting to see what would happen to Moshe in the river), that a Navi has a mandate to see to the fruition of his prophecy. Having announced in the name of Hashem that Shlomo would be the next king, Nassan was required to take the necessary steps to ensure that this would in fact happen.
