And he spoke with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they went after Adonijah and helped him.

Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things prepared have made haste upon them.

And David sent out one third of the people under the hand of Joab, one third under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, I shall proceed to go out with you myself also.

And Joab said, I cannot wait before you. And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through Absalom's heart, while he was still alive in the midst of the terebinth tree.

And ten young men who bore Joab's armor surrounded Absalom, and struck and killed him.

And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon; so he arose, and went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

And you shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay it with bronze.
