1 Kings 2:24 in Context — 1 Kings 2
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.
26 E a Abiatar sacerdote disse o rei: Vai-te a Anatote a tuas propriedades, que tu és digno de morte; mas não te matarei hoje, porquanto levaste a arca do Senhor DEUS diante de Davi meu pai, e, além disso, foste aflito em todas as coisas em que meu pai foi aflito.
