NETBible

When the news reached Joab (for Joab had supported¹ Adonijah, although he had not supported Absalom), he² ran to the tent of the Lord and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.³

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “turned after” (also later in this verse).

²tn Heb “Joab.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³sn 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, Joab was seeking asylum from Solomon.
