Therefore all that were called of Adonijah to the feast, were afeared, and rose up, and each man went into his way.
and furthermore he spake these things, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that hath given today a sitter in my throne, while mine eyes see.
And Adonijah dreaded Solomon, and rose up, and went into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he held the horn, or corner, of the altar.
My son, dread thou God, and the king; and be thou not meddled [or mingled] with backbiters.
For their perdition shall rise together suddenly, and who knoweth the fall of ever either?
A wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth; but a just [or rightwise] man as a lion trusting shall be without fearedfulness.
