And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon; for, lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

Και ανηγγειλαν προς τον Σολομωντα, λεγοντες, Ιδου, ο Αδωνιας φοβειται τον βασιλεα Σολομωντα· και ιδου, επιασθη απο των κερατων του θυσιαστηριου, λεγων, Ας ομοση προς εμε σημερον ο βασιλευς Σολομων, οτι δεν θελει θανατωσει τον δουλον αυτου δια ρομφαιας.

And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
