1 Kings 2:23 in Context — 1 Kings 2
21 E ela disse: Dê-se Abisague, a sunamita, por mulher a teu irmão Adonias.
22 E o rei Salomão respondeu, e disse a sua mãe: Por que pedes a Abisague sunamita para Adonias? Pede também para ele o reino, porque ele é meu irmão maior; e tem também a Abiatar sacerdote, e a Joabe filho de Zeruia.
23 E o rei Salomão jurou pelo SENHOR, dizendo: Assim me faça Deus e assim me acrescente, que contra sua vida falou Adonias esta palavra.
24 Agora, pois, vive o SENHOR, que me confirmou e me pôs sobre o trono de Davi meu pai, e que me fez casa, como me havia dito, que Adonias morrerá hoje.
25 Então o rei Salomão enviou por meio de Benaia filho de Joiada, o qual o golpeou de maneira que ele morreu.
