Löydetty 557 Tulokset: Solomon's wisdom
It was reported to Solomon that Adonijah, in his fear of King Solomon, had seized the horns of the altar and said, "Let King Solomon first swear that he will not kill me, his servant, with the sword." (1 Kings 1, 51)
Solomon answered, "If he proves himself worthy, not a hair shall fall from his head. But if he is found guilty of crime, he shall die." (1 Kings 1, 52)
King Solomon sent to have him brought down from the altar, and he came and paid homage to the king. Solomon then said to him, "Go to your home." (1 Kings 1, 53)
When the time of David's death drew near, he gave these instructions to his son Solomon: (1 Kings 2, 1)
Act with the wisdom you possess; you must not allow him to go down to the grave in peaceful old age. (1 Kings 2, 6)
When Solomon was seated on the throne of his father David, with his sovereignty firmly established, (1 Kings 2, 12)
Adonijah, son of Haggith, went to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. "Do you come as a friend?" she asked. "Yes," he answered, (1 Kings 2, 13)
He said, "Please ask King Solomon, who will not refuse you, to give me Abishag the Shunamite for my wife." (1 Kings 2, 17)
Then Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king stood up to meet her and paid her homage. Then he sat down upon his throne, and a throne was provided for the king's mother, who sat at his right. (1 Kings 2, 19)
"And why do you ask Abishag the Shunamite for Adonijah?" King Solomon answered his mother. "Ask the kingdom for him as well, for he is my elder brother and has with him Abiathar the priest and Joab, son of Zeruiah." (1 Kings 2, 22)
And King Solomon swore by the LORD: "May God do thus and so to me, and more besides, if Adonijah has not proposed this at the cost of his life. (1 Kings 2, 23)
Then King Solomon sent Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, who struck him dead. (1 Kings 2, 25)
