11:001:049 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and
           rose up, and went every man his way.

11:001:050 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went,
           and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

11:001:051 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king
           Solomon:  for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the
           altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he
           will not slay his servant with the sword.

11:001:052 And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there
           shall not an hair of him fall to the earth:  but if wickedness
           shall be found in him, he shall die.

11:001:053 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the
           altar.  And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon:  and
           Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.

11:002:001 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he
           charged Solomon his son, saying,

11:002:002 I go the way of all the earth:  be thou strong therefore, and
           shew thyself a man;

11:002:003 And keep the charge of the lord thy God, to walk in his ways,
           to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments,
           and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses,
           that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and
           whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 

11:002:004 That the lord may continue his word which he spake concerning
           me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk
           before me in truth with all their heart and with all their
           soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne
           of Israel.

11:002:005 Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to
           me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of
           Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of
           Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and
           put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins,
           and in his shoes that were on his feet.

11:002:006 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar
           head go down to the grave in peace.

11:002:007 But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite,
           and let them be of those that eat at thy table:  for so they
           came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.

11:002:008 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a
           Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in
           the day when I went to Mahanaim:  but he came down to meet me
           at Jordan, and I sware to him by the lord, saying, I will not
           put thee to death with the sword.
