NETBible

Adonijah feared Solomon, so he got up and went and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar. 1 

NET Notes

1 sn Grabbed hold of the horns of the altar. The “horns” of the altar were the horn-shaped projections on the four corners of the altar (see Exod 27:2). By going to the holy place and grabbing hold of the horns of the altar, Adonijah was seeking asylum from Solomon.
