( His father had never rebuked him by asking,“ Why do you behave as you do?” He was also very handsome and was born next after Absalom.)

His father had never tried to stop him from doing what he wanted to. His father had never asked him,“ Why are you acting the way you do?” Adonijah was also very handsome. Now that Absalom was dead, Adonijah was David’s oldest son.

His father had never at any time displeased him by asking,“ Why have you done thus and so?” He was also a very handsome man, and he was born next after Absalom.

Now his father, King David, had never disciplined him at any time, even by asking,“ Why are you doing that?” Adonijah had been born next after Absalom, and he was very handsome.

But his father had never once infuriated him by asking,“ Why did you do that?” In addition, he was quite handsome and was born after Absalom.

the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith;

Don’t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.
