1 Kings 2:23-25

New Life Version

²³ Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, “May God do so to me and more, if Adonijah has not asked for this against his own life. ²⁴ The Lord has given me my place on the throne of my father David. He has made me a house as He promised. And as the Lord lives, for sure Adonijah will be put to death today.” ²⁵ So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went to Adonijah and killed him.
