1 Kings 2:24-26

Modern English Version

²⁴ Now 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 dispatched Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he executed him.

²⁶ The king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the Lord God before David my father and because you shared in all the hardships my father endured.”
