וַאֲדֹנִיָּ֧ה בֶן־חַגִּ֛ית מִתְנַשֵּׂ֥א לֵאמֹ֖ר אֲנִ֣י אֶמְלֹ֑ךְ וַיַּ֣עַשׂ ל֗וֹ רֶ֚כֶב וּפָ֣רָשִׁ֔ים וַחֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אִ֖ישׁ רָצִ֥ים לְפָנָֽיו׃
Ora Adonija, figlio di Aggeo, si esaltava dicendo: 'Sarò re'; e gli preparò carri e cavalieri e cinquanta uomini per correre davanti a lui.

Ralbag on I Kings
And he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him: It is fitting for you to know that it was not permitted for the kings of Israel to accumulate many horses (Deuteronomy 17:16), and therefore this was not a small matter for the kings of Israel.

And fifty men. Whose spleens had been removed, and whose soles of their feet had been carved.10See Maseches Sanhedrin 21b and Rashi there.
