Melachim Alef 1:50-52

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁵⁰ And Adoniyah feared because of Sh’lomo, and arose, and went, and caught hold of the karnayim of the Mizbe’ach.

⁵¹ And it was told Sh’lomo, saying, Hinei, Adoniyah feareth HaMelech Sh’lomo; for, hinei, he hath caught hold of the karnayim of the Mizbe’ach, saying, Let Melech Sh’lomo swear a shevua (oath) unto me today that he will not slay his eved with the cherev.

⁵² And Sh’lomo said, If he will show himself a ben chayil (a son of worthiness), there shall not a hair of him fall to ha’aretz; but if ra’ah (wickedness) shall be found in him, he shall die [Ro 6:23].
