49 All the guests of Adonijah got up trembling, and went each their way,

50 but Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to grasp the horns of the altar. [11]

51 It was reported to Solomon: "Adonijah, in fear of King Solomon, is clinging to the horns of the altar and saying, 'Let King Solomon first swear that he will not kill me, his servant, with the sword.'"
