אֲדֹנִיָּ֫הוּ H0138
Adonijah son of David; Adonijah (other persons)
2. Adonijah (other persons) — The personal name Adonijah referring to individuals other than David's son: (1) a Levite sent by King Jehoshaphat to teach the law in the cities of Judah (2 Chronicles 17:8); (2) the son of David listed in the genealogy of 2 Samuel 3:4 / 1 Chronicles 3:2, which may overlap with the main figure but the shorter spelling form and Chronicles context suggest a genealogical register entry. These occurrences are distinguished by their non-narrative context outside the succession narrative of 1 Kings. 2×

1. Adonijah son of David — The personal name Adonijah (meaning 'my Lord is Yahweh'), referring primarily to the fourth son of King David who attempted to seize the throne before Solomon's accession. The vast majority of occurrences appear in 1 Kings 1-2 (chapters 1:5-51, 2:13-24), narrating his self-exaltation, feast at En-rogel, and eventual execution under Solomon. Includes all inflectional and prepositional variants (bare name, with conjunctive waw, with preposition lamed) as these are syntactic rather than semantic distinctions. Both spelling variants Adoniyyahu and Adoniyyah refer to the same individual. 24×
