However, the concept of "lord" as in "Adon" can be related to Greek terms like κύριος (kyrios), meaning "lord" or "master," which is used in the New Testament to refer to God or Jesus Christ. Usage: Adonijah is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to several individuals, most notably a son of King David. Context: • Adonijah, Son of David: Adonijah was the fourth son of King David, born to Haggith. He is most prominently known for his attempt to usurp the throne of Israel during the final days of David's reign. As recorded in 1 Kings 1, Adonijah declared himself king without David's approval, gathering support from key figures such as Joab, the commander of the army, and Abiathar the priest. However, his attempt was thwarted when Nathan the prophet and Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, informed David, leading to Solomon's anointing as king. Adonijah's actions resulted in his eventual downfall, and after a brief period of clemency, he was executed by Solomon for further attempts to undermine the throne (1 Kings 2:13-25).
