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 kings own mother. Solomon's true motive for having Adonijah killed was again political; he was removing his rival for kingship. Comments or Questions..
