1 Kings 2:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ Then Solomon made a solemn promise in the Lord's name, “May God strike me dead if I don't make Adonijah pay with his life for asking this! ²⁴ The Lord has firmly established me on the throne of my father David; he has kept his promise and given the kingdom to me and my descendants. I swear by the living Lord that Adonijah will die this very day!”

²⁵ So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah, who went out and killed Adonijah.
