23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, “May God do so to me and more so, if Adonijah has (A)not spoken this word against his own [a]life! 24 Now then, as the Lord lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father, and (B)has made me a house just as He [b]promised, Adonijah certainly shall be put to death today!” 25 Then King Solomon (C)sent the order by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he [c]struck him so that he died.

23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord: “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(A) if Adonijah does not pay with his life for this request! 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(B)—Adonijah shall be put to death today!” 25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah(C) son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.(D)
