1 Kings 2:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ Therefore, as the Lord lives, Who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and Who has made me a house as He promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

²⁵ So King Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who attacked [Adonijah] and he died.

²⁶ And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Get to Anathoth to your own estate; for you deserve death, but I will not put you to death now, because you bore the ark of the Lord God before my father David and were afflicted in all my father endured.
