Nyanabo:
If that single request was granted, he would one day come back in like manner to demand for the throne .

Secondly demanding for the wife of the dead King David can be seen as treason.This was done in order to ensure a smooth transition of power and to maintain stability in the kingdom. Solomon only did that to cement his grip on the throne.

That's the method Tinubu want to use. That's why we can see him trying so hard to go to war with Niger to ensure his continuous stay in power. But he would be disappointed. I believe that's why the PEPT are yet to give their verdict.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

EXCEPT THAT PETER OBI IS THE COVETOUS ONE HERE TRYING TO STEAL POWER FROM TINUBU WHO IS PRESIDENT ALREADY.

YOU TWISTED THIS ONE BADLY AND TURNED THE BARREL ON YOURSELF.

It is a fact unless murder has another definition, if it was a tribe other than israelites you would have seen it.

What has being an Israelite got to do with this dialogue..the op asked about Solomon's decision and u are relating my comment to isreal as a nation.....??

This is Solomon's decision ..and i mentioned in my opinion.. that he would be stupid to leave such a person a live.... adonijah tried to take the throne...
.baba... its like u dont know what treason is.... weda Isreal or babylon, asyria or samaria...US or Russia.......treason is treason...... and in those days there is not judiciary.....kings have final say over capital punishment for treason

Who am I to judge the Ancestor

baralatie:
The reward for treason is death

Who decides what a treason is?
And who decides that treason is death, how is it moral?

illicit:
Adonijah was already guilty of death for rebelling against his dad, king David

When King David was dying, he instructed Solomon to put Adonijah and some other collaborators and offenders to death albeit diplomatically

So that was it...

When Adonijah approached Solomon's mum to talk to the king for him so as to marry king David's last wife

It can easily be perceived that he wasn't contented with his position and situation and wanted more

Very soon,he might want the crown too

So Solomon just carried out his father's instruction

He wasn't wrong

Please reference to this, I need to check something

You are sympathetic to it because the King Solomon we are talking about is the one in the Old Testament.
If it was Mohammed that did such ooh lol.


Which treason involves killing someone because of a woman?
And because you are a king in those days, your final say have to be morally good?

Vinnie2000:
In the story of the OP, Was it Stated that he wanted to Claim the Throne?🤔😏

It is not op's story......

Its a popular biblical account .... the nigga took soldiers and tried to claim the throne by force while the current king was still alive

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 failed to mention that’s also Jesus lineage .

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.

Why David was allowed to have many wives and still be God's favorite and having s second wife is a considered a sin. God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Vinnie2000:
Just Warn and let the Man go. 🤨🙂

So you are now wiser? This is how many so called men die with their eyes open.

You don't warn snakes. You cut off the head immediately.
This is how you warn fake friends and family members instead of cutting them off then you turn around and cry of betrayal.

famozine1:
There was a man named adonija, Solomon older brother he went to meet king Solomon mother Bethsheba to make a request that if possible king Solomon should give him the virgin girl given to their father king David when king Solomon was told his brother request he got angry and put him to death...
So here is my question bcoz am somehow confused is king Solomon action right or wrong

He was human and not immune to error, he committed great errors during his reign, no wonder he requested for wisdom from God. Nothing can justify the act of taking your brother's life.

immortalmortal:
That's treason. Those days it was considered a treasonable offence if you slept with the king's wife or concubines or anyone the king has obviously slept with, let alone marriage.

Whatever happened to Deuteronomy 32:35 vengance is mine;, and
Romans 12:19 KJV
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Owk, i am Judging from the Short write up of the OP.

But as at the Time Adonijah demanded for the Girl,
Was she King David's wife? 🤔🙂

phemmyfour:

a thousand things can justify it. Not everyone holds on so tightly to sentiments.

You think the bible is complete?
Bible don't have full and explicit details of those stories

OP nawa 4 u o, person wey marry 300 wife’s and million’s of concubines, u think such person would joke with anything under pant?

I am not sympathetic....oga read my comment

I specifically mentioned "in my opinion" ...
I will not leave such a person alive....how can u try to take the throne and expect to go scot free....

. go to north korea...kim killed his family members that wanted to challenge him when his father made him ruler....

This is standard for kings when they gain power.....its modern democratic laws that change things..

. still United state still use technicalities to attack anyone that threatens their authority...

Welcome to the monarchy

Because Kim Jong un killed his family members, it means it is right?
If everyone was thinking like him, he would have been killed too.

We had other kings that were said to do terrible things like pharoah.

Using your logic because they are kings they are always right?

The question is does the monarchy have right to punish treason!

Badgers14:
But how come David is the man after God's heart?

David wasn't perfect. But the reason why God made that statement was that Davide never committed any sin he had once ask God for forgiveness.

Meaning sin God scolded him from, he never went back to it again. Imagine having a child like that. You'll love him with your life.

baralatie:

No where was “treason” mentioned in the question.

Moses and David should have been killed for treason too.

You're just justifying the foolishness of Solomon

Oga if u dont know the story...whats the point of this dialogue.?? Its not ops story..its a bible account...

Family member wey commit treason go collect
Ur opinion doesnt matter....

Besides right and wrong is constesable...the west has their version of right or wrong on sexuality gender....many pple and nation accross the world do not agree with the west.. so no discuss right or wrong with me abeg.

BigDawsNet:
Why Solomon Executed Adonijah

Adonijah Was Still Plotting Against Him

Solomon had to execute Adonijah his brother because the mere fact Adonijah could ask for his father's concubine is a sign he was still conspiring behind the scenes to oust him. If Solomon had not acted or didn't discern the implications of that request, he would have been known to be weak and naive. This would have further given the conspirators some leverage to facilitate a civil war later in Solomon's reign.

You people can't defend the indefensible in order to justify the actrocities of your favourite religious character. From the story it was obvious that King David just died and King Solomon had just been installed King (as there cannot be 2 Kings in a kingdom). Abishag the Shunammite, most probably a beautiful young slave girl was brought for the dying King David, to help easy his pains (don't ask my how). King David could not perform and indeed died not long after. Now slave girl is free and undefiled. Solomons brother now seeing this as the opportunity to have the young beautiful slave girl for himself, but he could not without the permission of the new king (his half junior brother). Instead of King Solomon to say no, and that he has eyes on the girl,his ego took over and decided to kill his brother for daring to like the girl he has eyes on.

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.

All Solomon did both good and evil was recorded in the bible ...how he loved many woman..even started to give abode to strange idols those many wives brought...Bible didn't any part of his life and that includes David and many other kinds and subjects of the Bible..it's shows no man is perfect and all men are vulnerable...if you read history aside bible you will see how men can go to do all sort of evil to preserve their ego, position, wealth, women and fame

You are sympathetic to it.

Who decides what a treason is, and the punishment for treason is death?


The question by the OP was about right or wrong.

Quest for Virgins has sent many men to grave.

Maynman:

Moses and David should have been killed for treason too.

Adonijah can write petition to Baba God that "aah , Baba God!My brother Solo cut my head because I said I want to marry the youngest wife of our late father"
What do you think pharaoh was trying to do with Moses and the people of Israel?(send off party)
Abi King Saul was trying till his death to (train David to be his successor)

To pharaoh don’t you think moses is committing treason.
And to saul don’t you think david committed treason?

Imagine if he said he wanted to take his people out of solomon kingdom?
