1:49 All of Adonijah’s guests panicked; 1 they jumped up and rushed off their separate ways. 1:50 Adonijah feared Solomon, so he got up and went and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar. 2 1:51 Solomon was told, “Look, Adonijah fears you; 3 see, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘May King Solomon solemnly promise 4 me today that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’” 1:52 Solomon said, “If he is a loyal subject, 5 not a hair of his head will be harmed, but if he is found to be a traitor, 6 he will die.” 1:53 King Solomon sent men to bring him down 7 from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon told him, “Go home.” 8
