The Key Word — חָרַד, vai.ye.cher.Dugenerated
The verb חָרַד (charad) means to tremble or be terrified. It conveys a deep sense of fear and anxiety, often seen in situations of great distress, such as the Israelites at Mount Sinai. The parsing indicates that it is a sequential imperfect verb in the third person masculine plural, showing that the guests collectively experienced this fear.
In this context, the use of חָרַד emphasizes the overwhelming nature of their fear, causing them to react instinctively and flee. The word captures the emotional state of the guests as they faced the implications of the throne being claimed by Solomon.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered consistently across translations, with all versions noting the guests' terror and their subsequent scattering.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb וַיֶּֽחֶרְדוּ (vai.ye.cher.Du) governs the sentence, indicating the guests' reaction. The sentence structure is straightforward, with the subject being the guests and the action being their trembling and scattering.
The order of the Hebrew words places emphasis on the guests' fear, followed by their action of rising and fleeing, which reflects the urgency of their emotional response.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates חָרַד with ἐχέστησαν (echestēsan), meaning 'they were astonished' or 'they were terrified.' This choice suggests a slight broadening of the term's meaning, focusing on the astonishment that accompanies fear rather than just the trembling aspect.
This translation indicates that the Greek translators understood the guests' reaction as not only physical trembling but also a profound shock at the unfolding events.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Kings 1:49 shows that when the guests of Adonijah heard the news, they were filled with fear and quickly scattered in different directions. This reaction illustrates the tension surrounding the struggle for power after King David's reign.

This is another indication that the royal power had been greatly consolidated during the last peaceful years of David’s reign. Perhaps, moreover, the usurpation of Adonijah, not being viewed as a rebellion against David, but only a presumption on his favour, was accordingly crushed at once by the expression of his will. It is strange that of all the conspirators Adonijah alone seems to have feared punishment at this time; his accomplices, the other…

ad-o-ni'-ja ('adhoniyahu or 'adhoniyah, "my lord is Yahweh"):
(1) The son of David and Haggith, the forth of David's sons, born in Hebron after David became king of Judah, principally known for his attempt to become king instead of Solomon (2Sa 3:4; 1Ch 3:2; 1Ki 1,2). The record gives no details concerning Chileab, the son of David and Abigail. Leaving him out, Adonijah was the oldest living son of David, after the death of Amnon and Absalom.
In treating the record it has been needlessly obscured by neglecting or distorting the time data. It says that the rebellion of Absalom broke out "at an end of forty years" (2Sa 15:7). The natural meaning is not forty years after the last-mentioned preceding date, but at the close of the…
Adonijah
My Lord is Jehovah. (1.) The fourth son of David (2 Sam. 3:4). After the death of his elder brothers, Amnon and Absalom, he became heir-apparent to the throne. But Solomon, a younger brother, was preferred to him. Adonijah, however, when his father was dying, caused himself to be proclaimed king. But Nathan and Bathsheba induced David to give orders that Solomon should at once be proclaimed and admitted to the throne. Adonijah fled and took refuge at the altar, and received pardon for his conduct from Solomon on the condition that he showed himself “a worthy man” (1 Kings 1:5-53). He afterwards made a second attempt to gain the throne, but was seized and put to death (1 Kings 2:13-25).
(my Lord is Jehovah). The fourth son of David by Haggith, born at Hebron while his father was king of Judah. (2 Samuel 3:4) (B.C. about 1050.) After the death of his three brothers, Amnon, Chileab and Absalom, he became eldest son; and when his father’s strength was visibly declining, put forward his pretensions to the crown. Adonijah’s cause was espoused by Abiathar and by Joab the famous commander of David’s army. [JOAB] His name and influence secured a large number of followers among the captains of the royal army belonging to the tribe of Judah, comp. (1 Kings 1:5) and these, together with all the princes except Solomon, were entertained by Adonijah at the great sacrificial feast held "by the stone Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel." [EN-ROGEL] Apprised of these proceedings, David…
The fourth son of David, by Haggith, 2Sa 3:4. After the death of Amnon and Absalom, he aspired to the throne, although it was promised to Solomon, his younger brother. Having gained over Joab and Abiathar and other adherents, he at length openly revolted and claimed the crown while David was yet living. The news of this revolt being brought to the king at once; upon which the friends of Adonijah dispersed, and he took refuge at the horns of the altar. Solomon dismissed him with only an admonition. But soon after the death of David, he applied for the hand of Abishag, thus renewing his pretensions to the throne, for which he was put to death, 1Ki 1:1-2:46.
