Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיָּ֣קָם וַיֵּ֔לֶךְ
and=he/it_rose_up and=he/it_went
Here the author implies that Adonijah left En Rogel and went to the sacred tent of meeting. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “And he left En Rogel and went to the tent of meeting”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
וַיֵּ֔לֶךְ
and=he/it_went
In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: “and came”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַֽיַּחֲזֵ֖ק בְּקַרְנ֥וֹת הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ
and,took_hold in/on/at/with,horns the,altar
In Adonijah’s culture, people who grasped the horns of the altar were considered to be protected by God and would not be taken away and punished unless someone could prove that they had really done something wrong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “and grasped the horns of the altar for protection” or “and grasped the horns of the altar to keep himself safe”
1:50-53 Fearing for his life, Adonijah sought refuge at the horns (projections at the corners) of the altar (Exod 27:2), hoping for mercy according to biblical precedent (cp. Exod 21:12-14). However, such protection was provided only for unintentional homicide, so Adonijah’s treason could only be forgiven by the king. Solomon treated him graciously on the condition that he remain loyal. Appearances aside, Adonijah was still looking for ways to usurp the kingship and was later killed as a troublemaker (1 Kgs 2:13-25).

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.
