David was king of Israel for a period of forty years: he reigned at Hebron for seven years, and in Jerusalem for thirty-three. (1 Kings 2, 11)
'You know', he said, 'that the kingdom should have come to me, and that all Israel expected me to be king; but the crown eluded me and fell to my brother, since it came to him from Yahweh. (1 Kings 2, 15)
He went on, 'Please ask King Solomon -- for he will not refuse you -- to give me Abishag of Shunem in marriage.' (1 Kings 2, 17)
'Very well,' Bathsheba replied, 'I shall speak to the king about you.' (1 Kings 2, 18)
So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him about Adonijah; the king got up to meet her and bowed before her; he then sat down on his throne; a seat was brought for the king's mother, and she sat down on his right. (1 Kings 2, 19)
She said, 'I have one small request to make you; do not refuse me.' 'Mother,' the king replied, 'make your request, for I shall not refuse you.' (1 Kings 2, 20)
King Solomon replied to his mother, 'And why do you request Abishag of Shunem for Adonijah? You might as well request the kingdom for him, since he is my elder brother and Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah are on his side.' (1 Kings 2, 22)
And King Solomon swore by Yahweh: 'May God bring unnameable ills on me, and worse ills, too,' he said, 'if Adonijah does not pay for these words of his with his life! (1 Kings 2, 23)
And King Solomon commissioned Benaiah son of Jehoiada to strike him down, and that was how he died. (1 Kings 2, 25)
As for Abiathar the priest, the king said to him, 'Go to Anathoth to your estate. You deserve to die, but I am not going to put you to death now, since you carried the ark of Yahweh in the presence of my father David and shared all my father's hardships.' (1 Kings 2, 26)
King Solomon was told, 'Joab has fled to the Tent of Yahweh; he is there beside the altar.' On this, Solomon sent word to Joab, 'What reason did you have for fleeing to the altar?' Joab replied, 'I was afraid of you and fled to Yahweh.' Solomon then sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada. 'Go', he said, 'and strike him down.' (1 Kings 2, 29)
Accordingly Benaiah went to the Tent of Yahweh. 'By order of the king,' he said, 'come out!' 'No,' he said, 'I will die here.' So Benaiah brought word back to the king, 'This is what Joab said, and the answer he gave me.' (1 Kings 2, 30)
