I believe Macbeth feels threatened of Banquo.

During act 4, Banquo is astonished of how the prophecy's about Macbeth have come true, and wonders if what the 3 ugly sisters (3 witches) predicted for him, will also come true - that his sons will become king. Macbeth is threatended by, this is because he wants to be king for a long as possible and then wants the position as king to pass down through generation in his family. Therefore because of this, Banquo and his son fleance is in his way/ path of what he wants and so he decides to plan h is murder.
