KJV - 1 Kings 1:51

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.

They told Solomon that Adonijah was afraid of him because he grabbed onto the altar's horns and asked Solomon to promise not to kill him with a sword.
