New Century Version

⁴⁹ Then all of Adonijah’s guests were afraid, and they left quickly and scattered. ⁵⁰ Adonijah was also afraid of Solomon, so he went and took hold of the corners of the altar.^{[a] 51} Then someone told Solomon, “Adonijah is afraid of you, so he is at the altar, holding on to its corners. He says, ‘Tell King Solomon to promise me today that he will not kill me.’”
