Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Go to thine house - Intimating that he should have no place about the king’s person, nor under the government. Adonijah must have seen that he stood continually on his good behavior. Friar Bacon’s method of restoring and strengthening the Natural Heat “I have read many volumes of the wise: I find few things in physic which restore the natural heat, weakened by dissolution of the innate moisture, or increase of a foreign one. “But certain wise men have tacitly made mention of some medicine, which is likened to that which goes out of the mine of the noble animal.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Adonijah is sent for, and told upon what terms he stands, which he signifies his grateful submission to, and then is told to go to his house and live retired there. Solomon not only gave him his life, but his estate, thus establishing his throne by mercy.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

The horns or projections at the four corners of the altar, to which the sacrifices were bound, and which were tipped with the blood of the victim, were symbols of grace and salvation to the sinner. Hence the altar was regarded as a sanctuary (Ex 21:14), but not to murderers, rebels, or deliberate perpetrators.
