1 Kings 2:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.

²⁴ And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.

²⁵ And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.
