1 Kings 2:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.

²⁵ And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.

²⁶ And the king said also to Abiathar the priest: Go to Anathoth to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured.
