Read 1 Kings 2.10-25
In verses 10-12: David's death and burial.
Forty years (v. 11) is often a round number for a generation in the Bible.
In verses 12-25: The story of Adonijah's request is not very believable.
To take a member of the harem, such as Abishag, would be a blatant play for the throne.
Adonijah would hardly have been foolish enough to make such a request with Solomon in power.
Besides, he could not have chosen a worse advocate than the king's own mother.
Solomon's true motive for having Adonijah killed was again political; he was removing his rival for kingship.
