1 Kings 2:24-26
New International Version
24 And now, as surely as the Lord lives—he who has established me securely on the throne of my father David and has founded a dynasty for me as he promised(A)—Adonijah shall be put to death today!” 25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah(B) son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.(C)
26 To Abiathar(D) the priest the king said, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth.(E) You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark(F) of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”(G)

King James Version
24 Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
