Names of God Bible
50 Adonijah was afraid of Solomon. He got up, went to the tent of meeting, and took hold of the horns of the altar.[a] 51 Someone told Solomon, “Adonijah is afraid of you, King Solomon. He is holding on to the horns of the altar and saying, ‘Make King Solomon swear to me today that he will not have me killed.’”
52 Solomon said, “If he will behave like an honorable man, not one hair on his head will fall to the ground. But if he does anything wrong, he will die.”
