1 Kings 1:50-52
1599 Geneva Bible
50 ¶ And Adonijah fearing the presence of Solomon, arose and went, and took hold on the horns of the [a]altar.
51 And one told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah doth fear king Solomon: for lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear unto me this day, that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
52 Then Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth, but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.
