1 Kings 2:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ Then King Solomon made a promise in the name of the Lord. He said, “I promise Adonijah will pay for asking me this! May God punish me terribly if it doesn’t cost Adonijah his life! ²⁴ The Lord has given me the throne that belonged to my father David. The Lord has kept his promise and given the kingdom to me and my people. As surely as the Lord lives, Adonijah will die today!” ²⁵ So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada. And he went out and killed Adonijah.
