1 Kings 2:25

Solomon Secures The Throne

²⁴ And now, as Jehovah lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as He spoke, Adonijah shall be put to death today. ²⁵ And King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And he fell on him so that he died. ²⁶ And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to your fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and because you have been afflicted in all that in which my father was afflicted.
