21 And she said, “tLet ~Abishag the Shunammite be_given to Adonijah thy) brother to wife.” |
= And king Solomon answered and) said unto his mother, “And why -dost} thou ask -Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? -ask for him «the king- dom also ; for he is mine xelder brother ; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the _son_of Zeruiah.”
23 Then xking Solomon sware by ‘ the Lorp, saying, “=God ‘do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah -have not spoken xthis xword against his_own s life.
24 Now therefore, as ’the Lorp liveth, which -hath_established me, and set me on the_throne_of David my father, and who -hath_made me a house, Hepromised, Adonijah shall_be_put_to_ death this day.”
2% And xking Solomon sent by the_ hand_of Benaiah the_son_of Jehoiada ; and he fell_upon him that he died.

30 And Benaiah came to the_e taber- nacle_of / the Lor», and said unto him, “Thus -saith the king, -Come-_forth.” And he said, “Nay; but I will_die here.” And Benaiah brought «the king word again, saying, “Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.” |
