The more things change the more they remain the same. This stuff's been going on since the dawn of time in countries with dynastic succession. Gotta eliminate the competition.

The Bible's full of it. Kings usually had literally hundreds of wives and concubines so they had dozens of sons. When a king died, his successor often killed off his brothers.
