1 Kings 1:50-52

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵⁰ And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, and he arose, went and ^(A)took hold of the horns of the altar. ⁵¹ Now it was told Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for behold, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.’” ⁵² Solomon said, “If he is a worthy man, ^(B)not one of his hairs will fall to the ground; but if wickedness is found in him, he will die.”
