1 Reis 1:51 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:51

And it was told Solomon
By some of his courtiers:

saying, behold, Adonijah feareth King Solomon;
lest he should take away his life:

for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar;
which was the last resort of the guilty when they despaired of mercy otherwise:

saying, let King Solomon swear unto me this day that he will not slay
his servant with the sword;
he owns Solomon to be king, and himself his subject and servant; this no doubt he did to conciliate his favour, nor did he think his life safe, unless Solomon promised with an oath, that he would not take it away.

1 Reis 1:51 In-Context

49 Diante disso, todos os convidados de Adonias entraram em pânico e se dispersaram.
50 Mas Adonias, com medo de Salomão, foi agarrar-se às pontas do altar.
51 Então informaram a Salomão: “Adonias está com medo do rei Salomão e está agarrado às pontas do altar. Ele diz: ‘Que o rei Salomão jure que não matará este seu servo pela espada’.”
52 Salomão respondeu: “Se ele se mostrar confiável, não cairá nem um só fio de cabelo da sua cabeça, mas, se nele se descobrir alguma maldade, ele morrerá”.
53 Então o rei enviou alguns soldados, e eles o fizeram descer do altar. E Adonias veio e se curvou solenemente perante o rei Salomão, que lhe disse: “Vá para casa”.
