1 Kings 1:5-7

The Voice

⁵ Adonijah, David and Haggith’s son, was full of conceit and praised himself incessantly.

Adonijah then arranged chariots with horsemen and also 50 men to run in front of his chariots.

⁶ Adonijah’s father, David, never questioned his actions. Adonijah was also a handsome man who was born after Absalom. ⁷ He discussed things with Joab (Zeruiah’s son and Adonijah’s cousin) and Abiathar the priest, and they became his coconspirators.
