"King Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died."
— 1 Kings 2:25, World English Bible
“And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.”
“And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died. ”
“King Solomon then sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he killed Adonijah.”
“And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias, the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.”
“And King Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and he made an attack on him and put him to death.”
“And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.”
King Solomon answered his mother, "Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah."
Then king Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day."
King Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died.
To Abiathar the priest the king said, "Go to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the Lord Yahweh before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted."
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Yahweh, that he might fulfill the word of Yahweh, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
The news came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he didn't turn after Absalom. Joab fled to the Tent of Yahweh, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
