Amplified Bible
23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, “May God do the same to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not requested this [deplorable] thing against his own [a]life. 24 So now, 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 indeed be put to death today.” 25 So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he [b]struck Adonijah and he died.

23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord: “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(A) if Adonijah does not pay with his life for this request! 24 And now, as surely as the Lord lives—he who has established me securely on the throne of my father David and has founded a dynasty for me as he promised(B)—Adonijah shall be put to death today!” 25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah(C) son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.(D)
