This is what the king said: ‘Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who has this day provided one to sit upon my throne, so that I see it with my own eyes.’”
but Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to grasp the horns of the altar.
My son, fear the Lord and the king; have nothing to do with those who hate them;
For disaster will issue suddenly, and calamity from them both, who knows when?
The wicked flee though none pursue; but the just, like a lion, are confident.
