1 Kings 1:49

New International Version

At this, all Adonijah’s guests rose in alarm and dispersed.

See the chapter Copy

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

and said, ‘Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has allowed my eyes to see a successor on my throne today.’ ”

But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

Fear the Lord and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,

for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?
