1 Kings 1:50-53

50And AdonijahH138 was afraidH3372 of SolomonH8010, and he aroseH6965, wentH1980 and 1tookH2388 holdH2388 of the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.

51Now it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, AdonijahH138 is afraidH3372 of KingH4428 SolomonH8010, for beholdH2009, he has takenH270 holdH270 of the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196, sayingH559, ‘Let KingH4428 SolomonH8010 swearH7650 to me todayH3117 that he will not putH4191 his servantH5650 to deathH4191 with the swordH2719.’”

52SolomonH8010 saidH559, “IfH518 he is a worthyH2428 manH1121, 2not one of his hairsH8185 will fallH5307 to the groundH776; but ifH518 wickednessH7463 is foundH4672 in him, he will dieH4191.”

53So KingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971, and they broughtH3381 him downH3381 from the altarH4196. And he cameH935 and prostratedH7812 himself 3before KingH4428 SolomonH8010, and SolomonH8010 saidH559 to him, “GoH1980 to your houseH1004.”
