⁵¹ Then it was told to Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, and 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 And Solomon said, “If he is a worthy man, ^(A)not one of his hairs will fall to the ground; but if evil is found in him, he will die.” ⁵³ So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and prostrated himself ^[a]before King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
