49. Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.
50. Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn of the altar.
51. And they reported to Solomon, saying: "Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: 'May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.' "
52. And Solomon said: "If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die."
53. Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, "Go to your own house."
