46. And also Solomon has been seated on the throne of the kingdom.
47. And moreover, the king’s slaves came to bless our lord King David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king worshipped upon the bed.
48. And also thus said the king, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, mine eyes even seeing it.
49. And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid and rose up and went each one his way.
50. And Adonijah, fearing the presence of Solomon, arose and went and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
51. And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah fears King Solomon, for he has caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his slave with the sword.
52. And Solomon said, If he will show himself virtuous, there shall not one hair of him fall to the ground, but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
53. So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to King Solomon. And Solomon said unto him, Go to thy house.
