We recount the events surrounding Adonijah, Solomon's older brother, who attempts to secure power by asking to marry Abishag, a woman from David's harem. We analyze Bathsheba's role in this request and Solomon's swift and decisive response, which ultimately leads to Adonijah's execution. We reflect on the importance of leadership and the consequences of decisions made at the top, noting how Solomon's firm grip on the kingdom was established through these early actions.
