David also commanded all the rulers of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

Behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and every willing man of wisdom will be with you for all manner of workmanship, for every kind of service; also the rulers and all the people are here for whatever you say.

The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah. These three were born to him by the daughter of Shua, the Canaanitess. Er, the firstborn of Judah, was evil in the eyes of Jehovah, so He killed him.

The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul.

The son of Carmi: Achar, the troubler of Israel, who had transgressed in the devoted thing.

The sons of Hezron who were born to him: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai.

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

And Solomon said, If he is a son of worth, not one hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if evil is found in him, he shall die.

Now therefore, as Jehovah lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established a house for me, as He has promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day!

So King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him and he died.

And Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Please, put your hand under my thigh,

And the time drew near for Israel to die. And he called his son Joseph and said to him, Now if I have found favor in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

Now do not stiffen your necks, like your fathers, but give your hands unto Jehovah; and enter His sanctuary, which He has consecrated for all time, and serve Jehovah your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

Since he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and in fact gave his hand and still did all these things, he shall not escape.
