Adonijah

Adonijah is staging an unsanctioned self-coronation, assembling chariots, soldiers, and powerful allies while deliberately excluding those who might challenge his claim.

Adonijah is recorded as David's fourth son, who would later attempt to claim the throne for himself just before Solomon was crowned, a desperate bid that ultimately cost him his life.

Adonijah is listed as David's fourth son born in Hebron, his name quietly catalogued here before he later makes a ill-fated bid for the throne after David's death.
