1 Kings 2:24-26

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁴ Now, therefore, as the LORD lives, who has confirmed 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 today.

²⁵ Then King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

²⁶ ¶ And unto Abiathar, the priest, the king said, Go to Anathoth, unto thine own inheritance, for thou art worthy of death; but I will not put thee to death today because thou didst bare the ark of the Lord GOD before David, my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
