1 Kings 2:25

Solomon Secures The Throne

²⁴ Now by the living Lord, who has given me my place on the seat of David my father, and made me one of a line of kings, as he gave me his word, truly Adonijah will be put to death this day. ²⁵ And King Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and he made an attack on him and put him to death. ²⁶ And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for death would be your right reward; but I will not put you to death now, because you took up the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and you were with him in all his troubles.
