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.
KJV
Et nuntiaverunt Salomoni, dicentes : Ecce Adonias timens regem Salomonem, tenuit cornu altaris, dicens : Juret mihi rex Salomon hodie, quod non interficiat servum suum gladio.
Vulgate
καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ Σαλωμὼν λέγοντες Ἰδοὺ Ἀδωνείας ἐφοβήθη τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμών, καὶ κατέχει τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγων Ὀμοσάτω μοι σήμερον Σαλωμὼν εἰ οὐ θανατώσει τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.
LXX
