As David neared his death, his son Adonijah assumed the throne of Israel under ambition. There was a scramble to anoint Solomon who had been designated by David to succeed him. Upon Solomon’s anointing and coronation, there was a process enacted to eliminate those who would conspire against his kingdom. Eventually those who had or would conspire against him lost their lives. This they deserved as they had lived lives that crossed the lines of absolute obedience to the Lord’s purposes. God protected Solomon’s throne because he was God’s choice to not only rule Israel but we to write most of the proverbs.

When God anoints you for a ministry, He will protect you and often identify the threats to your well-being. Trust hHm and watch Him work.
