49 And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

52 And Solomon said, If he shall show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.
