1 Kings 2:23 CPDV

²¹  And she said, 'Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.'

²²  And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: 'Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.'

²³  And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: 'May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.

²⁴  And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.'

²⁵  And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.
