Psalm: 5

Meditation: 1 Kings
How many times did David’s authority have to be challenged in his later years? Why would Adonijah and his followers think they could steal the throne? Why would the king’s followers risk everything to ensure the king’s wishes came to pass? Why did Solomon allow Adonijah to live?
