Solomon ordered the execution of Adonijah after Adonijah sought to marry Abishag, a young woman who had cared for King David. Solomon saw this act as a challenge to his authority and a potential claim to the throne. Consequently, he had Benaiah, the commander of his army, carry out the order, leading to Adonijah's death. This event marked a significant consolidation of Solomon's power after his ascent to the throne.

Why did Solomon kill shimei?

Solomon ordered the death of Shimei because he perceived Shimei as a potential threat to his reign. Shimei had previously cursed King David, Solomon's father, and had been allowed to live under the condition that he would not leave Jerusalem. When Shimei violated this condition by leaving the city, Solomon viewed it as an act of rebellion, leading him to execute Shimei to eliminate any possibility of dissent. This action was also part of Solomon's efforts to solidify his rule and establish authority over his kingdom.
