My [[Text:EBD:Lord (EBD)|Lord]] is [[Text:EBD:Jehovah (EBD)|Jehovah]]. (1.) The fourth son of [[Text:EBD:David (EBD)|David]] (2 Sam. 3:4). After the [[Text:EBD:Death (EBD)|death]] of his elder [[Text:EBD:Brother (EBD)|brothers]], [[Text:EBD:Amnon (EBD)|Amnon]] and [[Text:EBD:Absalom (EBD)|Absalom]], he became [[Text:EBD:Heir (EBD)|heir]]-apparent to the [[Text:EBD:Throne (EBD)|throne]]. But [[Text:EBD:Solomon (EBD)|Solomon]], a younger brother, was preferred to him. Adonijah, however, when his [[Text:EBD:Father (EBD)|father]] was dying, caused himself to be proclaimed king. But [[Text:EBD:Nathan (EBD)|Nathan]] and [[Text:EBD:Bath-sheba (EBD)|Bathsheba]] induced David to give orders that Solomon should at once be proclaimed and admitted to the throne. Adonijah fled and took refuge at the [[Text:EBD:Altar (EBD)|altar]], and received pardon for his conduct from Solomon on the condition that he showed himself "a worthy [[Text:EBD:Man (EBD)|man]]" (1 Kings 1:5-53). He afterwards made a second attempt to gain the throne, but was seized and put to death (1 Kings 2:13-25).

(2.) A [[Text:EBD:Levite (EBD)|Levite]] sent with the [[Text:EBD:Prince (EBD)|princes]] to teach the [[Text:EBD:Book (EBD)|book]] of the [[Text:EBD:Law (EBD)|law]] to the inhabitants of [[Text:EBD:Judah (EBD)|Judah]] (2 Chr. 17:8).

(3.) One of the "chiefs of the people" after the [[Text:EBD:Captivity (EBD)|Captivity]] (Neh. 10:16).
