ADONIJAH (Heb. Adoniyyah or Adoniyyahu, " Yah is Lord ")

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 212 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADONIJAH (Heb. Adoniyyah or Adoniyyahu, " Yah is Lord ") , a name borne by several persons in the Old Testament, the most noteworthy of whom was the fourth son of
David
 . He was born to Haggith at Hebron (2 Sam. iii. 4; 1 Ch. iii. 2). The natural
heir
  to the
throne
 , on the death of Absalom, he sought with the help of Joab and Abiathar to seize his
birth
 -right, and made arrangements for his
coronation
  (1 Kings i. 5 ff.).
Hearing
 , however, that Solomon, with the help of Nathan the prophet and Bathsheba, and apparently with the consent of
David
 , had ascended the
throne
 , he fled for safety to the horns of the altar. Solomon spared him on this occasion (1 Kings i. so ff.), but later commanded Benaiah to slay him (ii. 13 ff.), because with the approval of Bathsheba he wished to marry Abishag, formerly David's concubine, and thus seemed to have designs on the throne.
