Adonijah was the fourth son of King David.

|
|
* Adonijah tried to take over as king of Israel after the deaths of his brothers Absalom and Amnon.
|
||
|
|
* However God had promised the throne to David's son Solomon, so Adonijah's plot was overthrown and Solomon was given the throne.

|
* When Adonijah tried a second time to make himself king, Solomon put him to death.
