1 Kings 1:50-53
Adonijah in fear of Solomon, he afraid Solomon will kill him, he hope Solomon may swear to him do not put him to dead.
Solomon replied, "If he shows himself to be a worthy man, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, but if evil is found in him, he will die."
Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said, "Go to your home."
Horn of the altar: Horn-like 'handles' on top, at the four corners.
Why?
Solomon did not take the responsibility of Adnoijah's life, he has to bear his life on his deed.
Worthy man: Valuable man, righteous man,good to God and to the nation, to the society.
Solomon make good decision to the traitor. It shows his kindness to his brother and mercy to all. Solomon did not make decision under angry or jealousy. Making an objective decision, but not subjective decision.
More important is identify the right and evil, than protect his throne, so Solomon make this decision.
How?
Learn how to make objective decision.
