1 Kings 2:23-25

Modern English Version

²³ Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, “May God do so to me and more also if this word does not cost Adonijah his life. ²⁴ Now therefore as the Lord lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and who has made me a house as He promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.” ²⁵ So King Solomon dispatched Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he executed him.
