1 Kings 1:49-53

49Then allH3605 the guestsH7121 of AdonijahH138 trembledH2729 and gotH6965 upH6965, and eachH376 wentH1980 on his wayH1870.

50AdonijahH138 also wasH3372 afraidH3372 of SolomonH8010, and he gotH6965 upH6965, and wentH1980, and 1tookH2388 holdH2388 of the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.

51Now it was reportedH5046 to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, AdonijahH138 isH3372 afraidH3372 of KingH4428 SolomonH8010, for beholdH2009, he has takenH270 holdH270 of the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196, sayingH559, ‘May KingH4428 SolomonH8010 swearH7650 to me todayH3117 that he will not putH4191 his servantH5650 toH4191 deathH4191 with the swordH2719.’”

52And SolomonH8010 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 men, and they broughtH3381 him downH3381 from the altarH4196. And he cameH935 and prostratedH2331 himself before KingH4428 SolomonH8010, and SolomonH8010 saidH559 to him, “GoH1980 to your houseH1004.”
