1 Kings 1:50-52

Young's Literal Translation

⁵⁰ and Adonijah feareth because of Solomon, and riseth, and goeth, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.

⁵¹ And it is declared to Solomon, saying, `Lo, Adonijah feareth king Solomon, and lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me as to-day -- he doth not put to death his servant by the sword.'

⁵² And Solomon saith, `If he becometh a virtuous man -- there doth not fall of his hair to the earth, and if evil is found in him -- then he hath died.'
