Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מִפְּנֵ֣י שְׁלֹמֹ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Adonijah fearing from=face/in_front_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_rose_up and=he/it_went and,he_took_hold on,the_horns_of of,the_altar )
Here, from the face of is a common expression of the culture that means “because of” or “on account of.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [on account of Solomon]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיָּ֣קָם
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Adonijah fearing from=face/in_front_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_rose_up and=he/it_went and,he_took_hold on,the_horns_of of,the_altar )
The implication is that Adonijah arose from the table and left the feast that he was hosting at En Rogel. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And he left En Rogel]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיֵּ֔לֶךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Adonijah fearing from=face/in_front_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_rose_up and=he/it_went and,he_took_hold on,the_horns_of of,the_altar )
By went, the author means that Adonijah went to the sacred tent. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and went to the sacred tent]
Note 4 topic: translate-symaction
וַֽיַּחֲזֵ֖ק בְּקַרְנ֥וֹת הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Adonijah fearing from=face/in_front_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon) and=he/it_rose_up and=he/it_went and,he_took_hold on,the_horns_of of,the_altar )
Grasping the horns of the altar was a symbolic action by which Adonijah showed that he was seeking sanctuary and asking for mercy. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [and grasped the horns of the altar to seek sanctuary and ask for mercy]

OET (OET-RV) Adoniyah himself was now afraid of what Shelomoh would do, so he went to the sacred tent and held on to the horns of the altar.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
