1 Kings 1:50-53

50Adonijah also was afraid of Solomon, and he got up, and went, and 1took hold of the horns of the altar.

51Now it was reported to Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for behold, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘May King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.’”

52And Solomon said, “If he is a worthy man, 2not one of his hairs will fall to the ground; but if wickedness is found in him, he will die.”

53So King Solomon sent men, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and prostrated himself before King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
