Solomon was told, "Look, Adonijah fears you; see, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, 'May King Solomon solemnly promise me today that he will not kill his servant with the sword.'"

The king said to him, "How many times must I make you solemnly promise in the name of the Lord to tell me only the truth?"
