Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְבֶן־חַ֔יִל
as,man worthy
Here, the phrase a son of strength indicates that Adonijah might act in reliable or trustworthy ways. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 1:42. Alternate translation: “a loyal man” or “a reliable man”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לֹֽא־יִפֹּ֥ל מִשַּׂעֲרָת֖וֹ אָ֑רְצָה
not fall of,hair,his ground,to
Here, the phrase a hair of his will not fall to the ground indicates that Solomon will not punish or harm Adonijah in any way, not even by pulling out a single one of his hairs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “no one will punish him” or “he will not be harmed in any way”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
רָעָ֥ה תִמָּצֵא־ב֖וֹ
evil found in=him/it
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be Solomon. Alternate translation: “I find evil in him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
רָעָ֥ה תִמָּצֵא־ב֖וֹ
evil found in=him/it
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of evil, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “he is found to be evil”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וָמֵֽת
and,die
Here Solomon implies that he would have one of his soldiers kill Adonijah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “then I will have a soldier kill him”
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).

OET (OET-RV) “If he shows himself as a loyal subject,” Shelomoh responded, “then he’ll be able to keep his head. But if he’s found to be a traitor, then he’ll die.”
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.
