1 Kings 2:23-25

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ Then Solomon said, “By the Lord, I swear I’ll make Adonijah pay for this with his life! ²⁴ The Lord made me the king of Israel. He gave me the throne of my father David. The Lord kept his promise and gave the kingdom to me and my family. Now, as surely as the Lord lives, I swear Adonijah will die today!”

²⁵ King Solomon gave the command to Benaiah, and Benaiah went out and killed Adonijah.
