1 Kings 1:33–39

³³The king said to them, “Take with you ^athe servants of your lord, and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to ^bGihon.

³⁴“Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet ^aanoint him there as king over Israel, and ^bblow the trumpet and say, ‘^cLong live King Solomon!’

³⁵“Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne and be king in my place; for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”

³⁶Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, “Amen! Thus may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say.

³⁷“^aAs the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon, and ^bmake his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David!”

Solomon Anointed King

³⁸So ^aZadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, ^bthe Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to ^cGihon.

³⁹Zadok the priest then ^atook the horn of oil from the tent and ^banointed Solomon. Then they ^cblew the trumpet, and all the people said, “^dLong live King Solomon!”
