This week\u2019s passage is 1 Kings 2:13-46. The story of how the Kingdom became firmly into Solomon\u2019s grip. The picture of the human condition, wanting to position themselves on the top, to make themselves king. Adonijah still believed that the kingdom was rightfully his. Though Solomon told Bathsheba that he would deny her nothing, upon hearing her request Solomon weighs it against what the LORD had said and does not accommodate her request for Adonijah to marry Abishag. Verse 24, we see what the LORD has done vs what Adonijah was trying to do. Though God\u2019s plan will prevail, we will have to trust God and move to action through the adversity and resistance to God\u2019s plan. God is true to His word as we see the prophecy concerning the descendants of Eli come to pass.
