1 Kings 1:49

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

All of Adonijah’s guests were afraid and left very quickly.

See the chapter Copy

The wicked are afraid of everything, but those who live right are as brave as lions.

and said, ‘Praise the Lord, the God of Israel. He has put one of my own sons on my throne, and he has let me live to see it.’”

Adonijah was also afraid of Solomon, so he went to the altar and held onto the horns of the altar.

Son, respect the Lord and the king, and don’t join with those who are against them,

because people like that can quickly be destroyed. You have no idea how much trouble God and the king can make for their enemies.
