1 Kings1:51
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 to day, that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
He owns Solomon as his King, and himself as his Servant and Subject; and being sensible of his great guilt, and of the jealousie which Kings have of their competitors, could not be satisfied without Solomon's Oath.
