1 Reyes 1:53 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:53

So King Solomon sent, and they brought down Adonijah from the
altar
It being built upon an hill, as both that at Gibeon, and in Araunah's threshing floor, were:

and he came and bowed himself to King Solomon;
in a way of reverence and subjection, acknowledging him to be king, and himself his subject:

and Solomon said to him, go to thine house;
in peace; signifying that he pardoned him, and he might go home, and enjoy his family and substance; and by this intimating that he should only regard the affairs of his family, and not trouble himself with those of the kingdom and state, Abarbinel fancies, that because Solomon said, that if he showed himself to be a worthy man, or a man of fortitude and valour, that Adonijah thought that his meaning was, that he should go before him as a man of war, and minister to him; which made him so ready to come and stand before him; in which he was mistaken, Solomon meant no such thing; nor would he take him into his court and service, but sent him home to his own house.

1 Reyes 1:53 In-Context

51 No faltó quien fuera a decirle a Salomón:—Adonías tiene miedo de Su Majestad y está agarrado de los cuernos del altar. Ha dicho: “¡Quiero que hoy mismo jure el rey Salomón que no condenará a muerte a este servidor suyo!”

52 Salomón respondió:—Si demuestra que es un hombre de honor, no perderá ni un cabello de su cabeza; pero si se le sorprende en alguna maldad, será condenado a muerte.

53 Acto seguido, el rey Salomón mandó que lo trajeran. Cuando Adonías llegó, se inclinó ante el rey Salomón, y este le ordenó que se fuera a su casa.
