Melachim Alef 1:51-53

Orthodox Jewish Bible

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].

⁵³ So HaMelech Sh’lomo sent, and they brought him down from the Mizbe’ach. And he came and bowed himself to Melech Sh’lomo; and Sh’lomo said unto him, Go to thine bais.
