(1) Fourth son of David (2 Sam. 3: 4); usurps the kingdom by way of a conspiracy with Joab, Shimei and the priest Abiathar which the prophet Nathan discloses to include the putting to death Bath-sheba and Solomon (1 Kings 1:7-8 & 11-12), pardoned conditionally pending Adonijah 'shewing' himself worthy, but 'IF' there should be found wickedness in him, he would die (1 Kings 1:52), and when evidence by his own mouth 'shews' forth his continued conspiratal designs in seeking king David's last arraged political 'wife', Abishag, to wed, (1 Kings 2:17) Solomon sees through the rouge that it is unto obtaining the kingdom (1 Kings 2:22) and pronouces that Adonijah by his own mouth he has spoken death unto himself (1 Kings 2:23) for so 'shewing' forth his wickedness rather than being found worthy, and thus Adonijah is afterwards slain (1 Kgs. 1: 5-53; 1 Kgs. 2: 13-28; 1 Chr. 3: 2).
