So all the guests who were with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and each one went his way.
50
Now Adonijah was afraid of Solomon; so he arose, and went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

So King Solomon sent them to bring him down from the altar. And he came and fell down before King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."
