22 And King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “Now why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also—for he is my aolder brother—for him, and for bAbiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”
23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, a“May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life!
24 Now therefore, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established a1 house for me, as He apromised, Adonijah shall be put to death today!”
25 So King Solomon sent by the hand of aBenaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he struck him down, and he died.
Abiathar Exiled, Joab Executed
26 And to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to aAnathoth, to your own fields, for1 you are deserving of death; but I will not put you to death at this time, bbecause you carried the ark of the Lord God before my father David, and because you were afflicted every time my father was afflicted.”
