1 Kings 1:49

Modern English Version

All the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid and rose up and went on their way.

See the chapter Copy

The king also said, ‘Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day so that I could see with my own eyes.’ ”

Adonijah feared Solomon. So he got up and went to the altar and held on to its horns.

My son, fear the Lord and the king, and do not associate with those given to change,

for their calamity will rise suddenly, and who knows the ruin those two can bring?

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
