²³ Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, ^(A)“God do so to me and more also if this word does not cost Adonijah his life! ²⁴ Now therefore ^(B)as the Lord lives, who has established me and placed me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, ^(C)as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today.” ²⁵ So King Solomon sent ^(D)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he struck him down, and he died.
