Haggith
There's one Haggith in the Bible and she isn't very fortunate. She is one of king David's lesser known wives (2 Sam 3:4) and her son is called Adonijah. Adonijah, very pretty but not very clever, plots against his elderly father for the kingdom, while this was promised and subsequently given to Solomon. Adonijah gets real afraid but is pardoned by Solomon. But when Adonijah has his mother Haggith ask Solomon's mother Bathsheba for the nurse of the old and ailing David, he's really done it, and Solomon has him assassinated. |
