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.”
27 So Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to the Lord, that he might afulfill the word of the Lord which He spoke concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh.
28 Then news came to Joab, for Joab ahad defected to Adonijah, though he had not defected to Absalom. So Joab fled to the tabernacle of the Lord, and btook hold of the horns of the altar.
