1 Kings 2:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³ I swear in the name of the Lord that Adonijah will die because he asked for this! If he doesn't, I pray that God will severely punish me. ²⁴ The Lord made me king in my father's place and promised that the kings of Israel would come from my family. Yes, I swear by the living Lord that Adonijah will die today.

²⁵ “Benaiah,” Solomon shouted, “go kill Adonijah.” So Adonijah died.
