1 Kings 1:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ Adonijah son of Haggith^[a] was pushing himself forward, saying, “I will become king.” He obtained a chariot and charioteers and fifty men to run ahead of him. ⁶ His father had never rebuked him by saying, “Why are you acting like this?”

Adonijah also was very handsome and had been born next in line after Absalom. ⁷ Joab son of Zeruiah and Abiathar the priest conspired with Adonijah and gave him their support.
