³³The king also said unto them, Take with you ^xthe servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon ^†mine own mule, and bring him down to ^yGihon: ³⁴And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet ^zanoint him there king over Israel: and ^ablow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon. ³⁵Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. ³⁶And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the Lord God of my lord the king say so too. ³⁷^bAs the Lord hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and ^cmake his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David. ³⁸So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the ^dCherethites, and the ^ePelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon. ³⁹And Zadok the priest took an horn of ^foil out of the tabernacle, and ^ganointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and ^hall the people said, God save king Solomon. ⁴⁰And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with ^||pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
