1Ki 2:25 | MHM | STEP | v. 25 : Solomon ordered Benaiah, the commander of the army, to execute Adonijah, and he was put to death that day . Solomon did not need to investigate further because Adonijah’s actions made his intentions clear. By trying to take power through schemes, Adonijah brought about his own destruction. This shows that those who chase power for themselves often bring trouble upon their own heads.
