1 Kings 2:22-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²² King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask for Abishag from Shunem to be given to Adonijah? You might as well ask for the kingship for him. After all, he is my brother, my older brother! Yes, request it for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”

²³ Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, “May God punish me severely and double it,^[a] if Adonijah does not pay with his life for this request that he has made! ²⁴ Now, as surely as the Lord lives, who has appointed me and seated me on the throne of my father David and has established my house just as he said he would, Adonijah will die today!”
