1 Kings 2:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ Then Solomon ·removed [dismissed; banished] Abiathar from being the Lord’s priest. ·This happened as the Lord had said it would […in order to fulfill the word of the Lord], when he was speaking in Shiloh about the priest Eli and his ·descendants [^Lhouse; 1 Sam. 2:34–36].

²⁸ When Joab heard about what had happened, he was afraid. He had supported Adonijah but not Absalom. So Joab ·ran [fled] to the Tent of the Lord [^Cin which the Ark was kept] and took hold of the ·corners [horns; 1:50] of the altar. ²⁹ Someone told King Solomon that Joab had run to the Tent of the Lord and was beside the altar. Then Solomon ordered Benaiah to go and kill him.
