1 Kings 2:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 Now therefore as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, who hath also made me an house, as he (A)promised, Adonijah shall surely die this day.
25 And King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he [a]smote him that he died.
26 ¶ Then the King said unto Abiathar the Priest, Go to Anathoth unto thine own [b]fields: for thou art [c]worthy of death: but I will not this day kill thee, because thou [d]barest the Ark of the Lord God before David my father, and because thou hast suffered in all, wherein my father hath been afflicted.
