Adonijah asked for what is unconstitutional in Israel!

The newly anointed King inherits whatever is in the palace that's why Absalom took his time to have s€x with all his father's wives immediately he sent his father (David) on exile {2 Samuel 16:22} of course the next thing Adonijah will think of is the throne, that's why Solomon put him to death!

Wow
We learn everything on this forum this is my first time hearing about the story.

No matter how cruel you are blood is thicker than water 💧 but I guess back then no emotion to play with everyone is just mean.

But how come David is the man after God's heart?

I believe same reason our politicians live long .

He was just unlucky

McLizbae:
Just like Lagos is no man's land abi

Tribalism has poisoned your soul

Adonija,was wrong, why will he ask for such a request

Badgers14:

He is ever willing to support THEOCRACY that's the system of government God had in mind for mankind.

FalseProphet1:
You see after David killed Uriah and stole his wife Bathsheba, God cursed David's lineage and said that even though he committed the sin in secrete, he would bear the same publicly.

Ammon raped his sister Tamar.

Absolom killed his brother Ammon for raping his sister Tamar.

Absolom had sex with David's concubines on the roof for all Israel to see.

Solomon killed his brother Adonija because of a girl.

Solomon went on to have over 700 wives and 300 concubines of which I'm very sure that girl he killed his brother for was among.

This was happening because David their father couldn't keep his díck one place.

This I have seen.

You are absolutely correct

Right, because Abishag was his inheritance. That was why he answered the mother, he should as well request for the throne of the kingdom.

I quote: 1 Kings 2:22 KJV
And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Zeruiah.

Whatcha as they justify this evil. I promise you, Solomon will not go Scot free before God on the day of judgement

advanceDNA:


Solomon considered adonija's action as being covetous of the what belongs to the king's office....he not only wanted the girl, he wanted the throne.......its a treasonable offence..
..its Solomon's discretion to either put such a person to death or not...in my opinion...he would be stupíd to leave such a person alive...

.. however we are in mordern times that laws are different....even kings do not have final say over capital punishment....

Not Even the President Except Covert Actions ...

Solomon Did what He had to do as a Warrior-Emperor To Protect & Defend His Thrones Same Way He would Protect & Defend His Empire ......

The King Reigns Supreme Then But Unlike Now .. ....

The Court of Law(Judiciary) Must Make The Pronouncements as Constituted By the People(Legislature) to Be Executed By The Executive(Under Mr. President) ......

Thus Solomon Can't make such Decisions in Modern Time ... But as Far as Old Era is concerned even before Roman Empire which was the Civilisations that Enlightened Government of Homo Erectus ....

Solomon Did What Most King of those Era Would do ....

If I be President & You Try that with me On My Woman .. No be Just My Woman You Want, You Want Me too in One way or the Other ... I will Just Barnish You to Remote Place & Still Put Secret Services to Check On You ....

Long Rod No Hit My Eyes Na From Afar You Go Block am (Igi Gogogoro Ma gun Mi Loju)...

pol23:
Solo was said to be very wise.
But when you think about how human gas evolved and the kind of understanding we have now… you will know lots of things if not everything recorded in the Bible are bizarre.
Because you’re a King, you killed your own elder brother… The Bible have a way of painting some very evil thing good.
They will say he’s God favorite because of somethings he did…
Back to your question Oga OP… what he did was evil and extra wickedness.. telling your mum you will kill your elder brother… that Solomon go even wicked pass Buhari and Tinubu combine…
Thank God say na Tinubu be Nigeria president no be president Solomon… He for just order execution of a whole state.

Human have been animals it was gradual evolution from God via Wisdom, Knowledges & Powers that shaped us into Homo Sapien thus Solomon was the best to lead during his reign because he has what it takes to take his people to the next Evolutionary stage of their Civilisations & Societies....

Buhari not Tinubu.... Solomon was a Warrior Emperor , David Was a King-Emperor ..... Solomon was a Compensation to David as a Successor to Expanding David's Empire ...

Tinubu is a Civilian Emperor & a staunch Democrat who is the first of his kind in the history of Nigeria since 1914 .....

Buhari was Clueless because he only understood Military Rule of Order & obey, He never understood bureaucracy & Checks & Balances .... He would have Ordered Execution of many but he has judiciary to passed through. Since Buhari Realised he couldn't do any Military Rambo, He became Clueless & Failed.

God Bless Nigeria and the Future of Nigeria, Amen.

deltateam:
I think it was an insult to the throne and a disrespect to David..

I believe it was also a plot to usurp Solomon.


Don't you think? Of all the maidens of the land, it was David's maiden, more like his wife he chose.

Omo na fkup.

in the older era, the next king usually inherit the last wife of the previous king !

It was a Custom ..... Most of Us African Here especially southern Nigeria seems like Run away Jews from Arab Onslaught.....

No Where to run to anymore except Atlantic ocean ... Time to Face them all & Conquer the Sahel With Sahel Philosophies & Humanitarianism!

Exmilitant:
Keep debating over characters in Jewish people's fables.
Black Monkeys.

U are the black monkey here because you never can tell if these blacks are also Jews ... Alot of Migrations occur all over the world back in the days ....

Mankind is Mankind anywhere....

Wisdom is wisdom... You can Validate some axioms in your culture utilising the wisdom acquired from other people's culture.......

Your Civilisations wouldn't have developed Mobile Phone if not for some Civilisations from other Race ....

Humanities is Humanities!

Xwizard:
One thing is, the Bible wrote both the good and bad part of these prophets.

and the Consequences of Each of their Actions in the Longrun so for David and so for Solomon & Many Like them till Date . ......

Most Prophets are Lesson to Humanities to Behold They are Human like us chosen by Almighty God to Manifest Its Mandates On Humanities.....

They all did their Good Unifying, Emancipation, Growth & Developments of their People & They all Made their Mistakes with Consequences to Behold ....

I love them all especially the Warriors Among them .... Jolojolo no be my thing !

God is not expecting Perfectionism from anyone .... Extremism & Fanatism is not the way of God ...

If you score 70s in Your Village & God chose you to lead ya people.... You are the Chosen & the Man After God's Heart ....

Nevertheless, You will still Err as a Human, Mortal & a Man.

Don't let those Daddy GOs Confuse You ....
