*
And Adoni '
jah feared Solomon ;
and he arose ,
and went ,
and caught hold of the horns of the altar .
*
And it was told Solomon , "
Behold ,
Adoni '
jah fears King Solomon ;
for ,
lo ,
he has laid hold of the horns of the altar ,
saying , `
Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword .'"
*
And Solomon said , "
If he prove to be a worthy man ,
not one of his hairs shall fall to the earth ;
but if wickedness is found in him ,
he shall die ."
*
So King Solomon sent ,
and they brought him down from the altar .
And he came and did obeisance to King Solomon ;
and Solomon said to him , "
Go to your house ."
