David makes Solomon, David's son by Bathsheba, king over Judah and Israel, although Adonijah is the eldest of David's sons and therefore the rightful heir to David's kingdom, according to customs in place at that time. This action is sure to spur conflict in the royal family.
David puts ideas of revenge or justice (?) into Solomon's mind. (1 Kings 2:5-6; 1 Kings 2:8-9) Again conflict is sure to result in the royal family.
How do I sow seeds of conflict in my family of origin and in my spiritual family?
How can I become a peacemaker instead?
