1 Kings 1

1 Kings 1:11

That Adonijah doth reign.

That Adonijah hath plotted for the kingdom; and hath, in a sort, possessed himself of it.

1 Kings 1:50

And Adonijah arose and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

And Adonijah, which had not the grace to consult with God in his challenge of the crown of Israel, now, through fear, had recourse to the altar of God; as thinking, under the protection thereof, to avoid that death, which by his usurpation he had deserved.
