1 Kings 1:51-53

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵¹ Someone told Solomon, ‘Adonijah is afraid of you. He has taken hold of the horns of the altar. He says, “I want King Solomon to promise me today that he will not punish me with death. I am his servant.” ’ ⁵² Solomon said, ‘If he serves me faithfully, I will not hurt him at all. But if he turns against me, he will die.’

⁵³ Then King Solomon sent men to the holy tent to bring Adonijah down from the altar. So Adonijah came. He bent down low to respect King Solomon. Solomon said to him, ‘Go to your home.’
