Solomon’s judgment on Adonijah

23Then King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “May God do so to me, and more also, for Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.”

24And now, as Yahweh lives, who has established me and seated me on the throne of David my father, and who has made for me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.
