1 Kings 2:22-24

22 King Solomon answered his mother, “And why do you ask ^cAbishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, ^dfor he is my older brother, and on his side ^eare Abiathar ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew and for him and for Abiathar} the priest and Joab the son of Zeruiah.” 23 Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, ^g“God do so to me and more also if this word does not cost Adonijah his life! 24 Now therefore ^has the Lord lives, who has established me and placed me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, ⁱas he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today.”
