And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
Adonijah's attempt to take the throne collapsed suddenly when his bid was thwarted by the proclamation of Solomon as king.

Then they scattered in haste, each man departing his own way and abandoning the cause.
