[You have successfully detected devil magic (Bari) : Lightning Strike]

Lightning Strike...

Solomon was lost in thought.

This spell might have a special use.

Although Solomon did not expect Adonijah, who was so weak after being roasted by the fire, would be frightened by his shout and fall into the fire to commit suicide. Fortunately, being scared to death at least did not mean breaking the oath.

However, Adonijah dying so easily was indeed out of his expectation. Solomon once regarded Adonijah, who controlled the army of Israel, as a powerful enemy. He even spent a lot of time and energy to plant many dark lines on Adonijah's body. It was enough to deal with any situation.

For example, before Solomon returned to Jerusalem City, If Adonijah was smart enough to send troops to kill Solomon when he returned to the city, then Solomon could only flee. Forcing Adonijah to come and kill him, and at that time, Adonijah's displaced sternum would become his death warrant.

A long distance attack, violent movements, emotional fluctuations, and Solomon's sudden fright and possible traps would be enough to kill him.

And if Adonijah did not come personally, then it would be even simpler - Solomon had almost absolute confidence in convincing Joab. Because Solomon could see that Joab was a person with strong desire for power and pride. He was not obeying Adonijah, but thinking that Adonijah was easy to control.

He did not participate in the assassination of Solomon. He did not show any hostility towards Solomon. He even took the initiative to surrender to Jerusalem after the incident. This showed that he did not want to offend Solomon. He still wanted to leave a way out for himself.

Therefore, if Joab thought that Solomon supported the army more than Adonijah, and even took the initiative to swear to divide power, it was not impossible for him to switch sides at the last minute.

Even if the worst possibility was that he failed to persuade Joab, Solomon could use the power of the Demon God to kill all the pursuers, and then wait for Adonijah's lungs to be infected and die before coming back.

He first found out that Abigail's treatment was better than the priest's. The wounds that she had healed did not have pus flowing out, which meant that the priests of Israel could not remove the infection from the wounds.

The soil by the river that Solomon used as "ointment" would have tiny insect eggs and insect eggs in the early spring. In addition, it had been soaked by Solomon for half an hour in a beast skin bag that contained salted fish for a long period of time. The contaminated soil would be applied to the exposed wounds, and then the wounds would be healed and a small amount of soil would be buried in the flesh. This was enough to bury the hidden danger of killing Adonijah.

As the saying went, a dam that was a thousand miles wide would collapse into an ant's nest. Whether it was the stretcher or the soil, every small suggestion that Solomon made was enough to kill someone.

Even the original Solomon could not beat Adonijah, so it was only natural that Adonijah could not beat the current Solomon, MK2. After all, this was the absolute difference in knowledge, intelligence, and even cheating.

"There are still two left..."

Solomon said in a low voice.

Hearing this, the Prophet looked at Solomon.

"My king, what are you worried about?"

He approached Solomon with a walking stick, looked ahead and asked quietly, "Is it Bari's problem?"

"Ah, it is also considered that."

Solomon nodded slightly. "Bari is indeed a big problem, but it is easy to solve. I am not thinking about her now. "

"So, is it Joab?"

Nattan asked, "And... the priest, Abiah?"

"Yes," Solomon replied calmly. He said, "I will not violate the promise King David made. Now that Adonijah was dead, there were only two people left who participated in the rebellion. I do not intend to keep them. "

"Your decision is correct, my king. If someone tries to harm you from the people, it's not to kill you alone, but to harm the entire Israel"

Dan chuckled, lowered his head and said softly, "If it is Abiah, I can help you with your worries. When you want to kill him, you only need to banish him with the crime of treason. You can't let him return to Israel for the rest of his life. I will follow him and escort him... Until he leaves the country."

"Thank you, take the order."

Solomon smiled gently and said, "You can't leave this to Benaiah. Thanks to you. Then Joab will leave it to me. "

" Solomon, David is dead now. "

At this moment, the young girl, Abisha, suddenly said in a clear voice, "His lifespan has reached its limit. So when I signed the contract with you, my contract with him was terminated. "

"So that's how it is."

Solomon said softly, closing his eyes to think.

When they returned to Israel, Bathsheba and the guards of Royal City found King David's smiling dead body.

Under Zadok Priest's guidance, David was buried in the valley of Xianshan.

In the seven days after Solomon returned, the food that Solomon sent to Joab became more and more plentiful. He also asked him to eat and drink well every day. Although it was such a friendly gesture, Joab felt more and more panicked.

On the seventh day, Solomon sent people to give Joab a lot of food. There were two lambs, one boiled, and one burned. And then... After delivering the wine, he even let the person who sent the food release Joab's cage on purpose. However, the words Solomon had sent to Joab had changed.

That sentence was very short, but it made Joab tremble uncontrollably.

That person said, "King David has been dead for seven days."

As expected, Joab had escaped from prison.

He held the sword and knife in his hand and killed many people along the way. It was only when he escaped into Jerusalem's tent that Benaiah and his men gave up on pursuing him.

Benaiah stood outside the tent, not knowing what to do. So he returned to Solomon's inner palace and asked for instructions from Solomon.

"My king..."

Benaiah said hesitantly, "Something happened. Joab escaped from prison and killed a lot of people along the way. "

"He broke out of prison because he despised the law. He killed people because he bled their blood. This is a new crime for Joab."

Solomon said calmly, "You should bring Joab's head back for me, not this news. Or has he already escaped from Israel? "

"No. He is in Jerusalem. "

The young warrior Benaiah quickly said, "But he is in the master's tent, grabbing the altar and not letting it go. He wants to seek protection..."

According to the law of Israel, one could not use a sword or a knife in the tent or see blood. During the sacrifice, the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats had to be sprinkled on the altar outside the tent. Burning the fat was a safe sacrifice.

And if the blood was sprinkled in the tent, then it would be a capital offense. Not to mention killing someone from inside the tent...

If he wanted to kill Joab, he would have to wait for him to leave the altar. However, after Benaiah shouted for a long time, Joab refused to come out.

Solomon couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. An opportunity that could weaken the deterrence of the Israel's traditional laws...

"No, Benaiah. Law does not have to be explained in this way."

Solomon said calmly, "The Lord also said that anyone who comes close to the main tent will die. Only priests can enter and exit the tent... Do you think Joab is a priest? "

"No, my king."

Benaiah said with certainty, "He is definitely not a priest."

"So, is he dead?"

Solomon asked again.

His words made Benaiah hesitate.

Logically speaking, the moment Joab entered the tent, he should have been struck by lightning.

No matter what, Joab was indeed in the tent, but he was still alive.

"He will be struck by lightning, Benaiah. He is still alive because he still has a reason to stay alive."

Solomon said calmly, "During King David's time, Joab killed two marshals and substitute generals who took over his position. And now you will take over his position as marshal. He died because he killed the new marshal, so he should be killed by the new marshal. You are the karma he deserves. "

" If that's the case... "

Solomon's words had shaken Benaiah.

Solomon's last sentence made Benaiah give up all concerns. "I will go with you, Benaiah. Use your knife to kill him from the tent, then come out and shout to the people that Joab is dead. "

"After that, divine lightning will fall from the sky and burn his corpse to ashes."

Solomon spoke with a strong voice to Benaiah, "He did not die because of the lightning, because he deserves to be killed by a knife."

"You are his retribution!"
