“And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and he fell vpon him that he died.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
2:25 Benaiah - For the execution of justice was not then committed toobscure persons, as now it is; but to persons of great honour and authority.It is far from clear, that Solomon did right herein, or that Adonijahhad any ill design in asking Abishag.
