1 Kings 1:49-53

1 Kings 1:49-53

[49] And all the guests  that were with Adonijah  were afraid,  and rose up,  every man  his way.  [50] And Adonijah  feared  because  of Solomon,  and arose,  and caught hold  on the horns  of the altar.  [51] And it was told  Solomon,  saying,  Behold, Adonijah  feareth  king  Solomon:  for, lo, he hath caught hold  on the horns  of the altar,  saying,  Let king  Solomon  swear  unto me to day  that he will not slay  his servant  with the sword.  [52] And Solomon  said,  If he will shew himself a worthy  man,  there shall not an hair  of him fall  to the earth:  but if wickedness  shall be found  in him, he shall die.  [53] So king  Solomon  sent,  and they brought him down  from the altar.  And he came  and bowed  himself to king  Solomon:  said  to thine house.
