1 Kings 1:49-51

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴⁹ And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid and rose up and went every man his way.

⁵⁰ And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose and went [to the tabernacle tent on Mt. Zion] and caught hold of the horns of the altar [as a fugitive’s refuge].

⁵¹ And it was told Solomon, Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, for behold, he has caught hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
