1 Kings 2:25
"And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada,.... Orders to execute him, and proper persons to do it; perhaps some of the Cherethites and Pelethites

under him, to assist at least in it: and he fell upon him, that he died; Benaiah rushed in upon him with his men, and thrust his sword into him, and killed him; executions used to be done in those times and countries by great personages, as the instances of Gideon, Doeg, and others, show, and not by common executioners.
