Trembling, all the guests of Adonijah got up and each went his own way.
Furthermore the king said, ‘Blessed be Adonai, God of Israel, who this day has given one to sit on my throne, while my eyes are seeing it.’”
Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, so he arose, went, and grasped the horns of the altar.
My son, fear Adonai and the king, and do not associate with rebels.
For their destruction will arise suddenly, and who knows the ruin both Adonai and the king can bring?
The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
