REFERENCE CAUGHT HOLD OF THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR
I Kings 1:50-51 [1:50] And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. [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.
I 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.
