1 Kings 1:53

Go to thine house. The usurpation of Adonijah happily ended without bloodshed. David had shown his wisdom in dealing with the matter by setting up Solomon as king and allowing events to take their natural course rather than by sending troops to put down the usurper. Solomon took the course of wisdom and mercy by extending pardon, yet at the same time making it clear that clemency had been extended only upon condition of consequent good behavior. If Adonijah showed himself a worthy man, living quietly as a private citizen and submitting to the new regime, he would remain unmolested. But if not, his life would be imperiled. Adonijah bowed to the king and submitted himself to his inglorious fate.
