1 Kings 2:25-27

New American Standard Bible

²⁵ Then King Solomon ^(A)sent the order by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he ^[a]struck him so that he died.

²⁶ Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, “^(B)Go to Anathoth to your own field, ^(C)for you ^[b]deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this ^[c]time, because ^(D)you carried the ark of the Lord ^[d]God before my father David, and because ^(E)you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted.” ²⁷ So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to the Lord, to fulfill ^(F)the word of the Lord, which He had spoken regarding the house of Eli in Shiloh.
