1 Kings 2:22, 26-27

1 Kings 2:22 NCV

King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask me to give him Abishag? Why don’t you also ask for him to become the king since he is my older brother? Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah would support him!”

1 Kings 2:26-27 NCV

King Solomon said to Abiathar the priest, “I should kill you too, but I will allow you to go back to your fields in Anathoth. I will not kill you at this time, because you helped carry the Ark of the Lord GOD while marching with my father David. And I know you shared in all the hard times with him.” Then Solomon removed Abiathar from being the LORD’s priest. This happened as the LORD had said it would, when he was speaking in Shiloh about the priest Eli and his descendants.
