ADONIJAH 

Read: 1 Kings 2:19-25; 2 Samuel 3:4


According to 2 Samuel, Adonijah (Hebrew: אֲדֹנִיָּה‎, 'Ǎḏōnīyyā; "my lord is Yah") was the fourth son of King David.


The letter J used to be used as the swash letter I, used for the letter I at the end of Roman numerals when following another I, as in XXIIJ or xxiij instead of XXIII or xxiii for the Roman numeral twenty-three. A distinctive usage emerged in Middle High German.[4] Gian Giorgio Trissino (1478–1550) was the first to explicitly distinguish I and J as representing separate sounds, in his Ɛpistola del Trissino de le lettere nuωvamente aggiunte ne la lingua italiana ("Trissino's epistle about the letters recently added in the Italian language") of 1524.[5]
