1 Kings 1:49-51

Modern English Version

⁴⁹ All the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid and rose up and went on their way. ⁵⁰ Adonijah feared Solomon. So he got up and went to the altar and held on to its horns. ⁵¹ Then Solomon was told, “Adonijah fears King Solomon, for he has caught hold of the horns on the altar, saying ‘Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.’ ”
