At 1 Kings 1:52, he said that he would not harm Adonijah as long as he showed himself a worthy man. However, in chapter 2, he ordered the death of Adonijah merely because he sought Solomon's approval to marry a woman.
Solomon punished the priest Abiathar, who had previously helped Adonijah, and Joab who did not, although he later befriended him. Then he ordered Shimei, who had not been allied with Adonijah, never to leave Jerusalem. Afterwards, Shimei briefly left Jerusalem to recapture and bring back his slaves, so Solomon had him killed.
Shortly after these events, Solomon, in a dream, asked God for wisdom. Arguably, the reason for the stories of Adonijah and the others was to demonstrate to the reader Solomon's lack of good judgement, as a foil for the qualities he would soon display.

Which of King David's sons had the birthright?
As King Davidâ??s eldest son, Adonijah was slated to be the next King by birthright. However, David was convinced by Solomonâ??s mother, Bathsheba, and the prophet Nathan, to give the blessing and birthright of a first-born son to Solomon, effectively making Solomon King Davidâ??s successor to the throne. It was a custom to anoint the Kingâ??s successor at his time of death, which formally placed Kingship. However, while King David was still alive, Adonijah declared himself king, and this prompted David to send Solomon for formal anointing by the priest.
Who are the three enemies of Solomon the king?
The three notable enemies of King Solomon were Adonijah, his half-brother who sought to claim the throne; Joab, the former military commander who had supported Adonijah; and Shimei, who had cursed David and was later executed on Solomon's orders for breaking his oath. These individuals posed threats to Solomon's reign and stability in Israel, leading him to take decisive actions against them.
How did Solomon ascend to the throne and become king?
Solomon ascended to the throne and became king after his father, King David, passed away. David had chosen Solomon as his successor and made sure that he would be the next king before he died. Solomon's older brother, Adonijah, had tried to claim the throne, but Solomon was ultimately crowned king with the support of key figures in the kingdom.

His dad's name was Jesse. Boaz and Ruth were Jesse's parents.
Why did Adonijah ask to marry Abishag?
Some have proposed that Abishag is the Shulammite in The Song of Solomon. If that is true, then Solomon himself wanted her as a part of his inheritance from David, as well as her recorded desirable beauty and chastity. We know both ladies were a part of Solomon's court and if she was the one Solomon desired for himself, the motive for Adonijah would be more than mere natural beauty, but have personal and political implications. This would also explain Solomon's extreme reaction of executing Adonijah. See http://www.scripturewise.com/story.htm#STORY for a more detailed scenario.

Why could Adonijah not be king?
1 Kings chapter 1 says that as King David lay on his deathbed, his son Adonijah attempted a coup, declaring that he would be king as soon as his father passed away. Naturally, David was incensed and preempted this attempt by declaring the younger son, Solomon, to be his successor. The Book of Chronicles, although apparently based on the earlier account, omits this passage and has Solomon anointed as successor in entirely different circumstances. While still hale and hearty, David announced to the multitude that God had selected Solomon to be his successor. There is no mention of Adonijah and the only reason that he and the other more senior brothers were passed over was David's announcement that the choice had been God's.
Who where king solomons siblings?
King Solomon had several siblings, the most notable being his elder brother, Adonijah, who attempted to claim the throne before Solomon's ascension. Another sibling was Absalom, who was a son of King David and had a significant role in David's reign and succession issues. Additionally, Solomon had a sister named Tamar. Their family dynamics were often complex, influenced by the political intrigues of their father, King David.
