not eat any food with them.

1 Kings 1:6 Now his father, King David, had never
disciplined him at any time, even by asking, “Why are
you doing that?” Adonijah had been born next after
Absalom, and he was very handsome.

Hebrews 12:5-9 And have you forgotten the
encouraging words God spoke to you as his children?
He said, “My child, don’t make light of the LORD’s
discipline, and don’t give up when he corrects you.
6 For the LORD disciplines those he loves, and he
punishes each one he accepts as his child. “As you
endure this divine discipline, remember that God is
treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a
child who is never disciplined by its father? 8 If God
doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it
means that you are illegitimate and are not really his
children at all. 9 Since we respected our earthly fathers
who disciplined us, shouldn’t we submit even more to
the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live
forever?

Hebrews 12:11-12 No discipline is enjoyable while it is
happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a
peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained
in this way. So take a new grip with your tired hands and
strengthen your weak knees.

Romans 3:22-26 (NIV) We are made right with God by
placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for
everyone who believes, no matter who we are.23 For
everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious
standard.24 Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in
his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed
us from the penalty for our sins.25 For God presented
Jesus as the sacrifice for sin.
