1 Kings 2:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 So Solomon cast out Abiathar from being Priest unto the Lord, that he might (A)fulfill the words of the Lord, which he spake against the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 ¶ Then tidings came to Joab: (for Joab had [a]turned after Adonijah, but he turned not after Absalom) and Joab fled unto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
29 And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled unto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and behold, he is by the [b]altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
