At this, all the guests of Adonijah arose in terror and scattered. Context 49Then all the guests of Adonijah were terrified; and they arose and each went on his way. 50And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, and he arose, went and took hold of the horns of the altar. 51Now it was told Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for 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.’” 52Solomon said, “If he is a worthy man, not one of his hairs will fall to the ground; but if wickedness is found in him, he will die.” 53So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and prostrated himself before King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.” Links 1 Kings 1:49 NIV1 Kings 1:49 NLT 1 Kings 1:49 ESV 1 Kings 1:49 NASB 1 Kings 1:49 KJV 1 Kings 1:49 Commentaries Bible Hub |
