And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon; for, lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
And þei telden to Salomon, and seiden, Lo! Adonye dredith þe kyng Salomon, and holdith þe horn of þe auter, and seith, Kyng Salomon swere to me to dai, þat he schal not sle his seruaunt bi swerd.
