KJV - 1 Kings 2:28

Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

Then news reached Joab because Joab supported Adonijah but not Absalom. So, Joab ran to God's tent and grabbed onto the altar's horns.
