1 Kings 1:33–39

³³he said to them, “Take my servants with you and put my son Solomon on my own mule. Take him down to the spring called Gihon. ³⁴There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet should pour olive oil on him and make him king over Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ ³⁵Then come back up here with him. He will sit on my throne and rule in my place, because he is the one I have chosen to be the ruler over Israel and Judah.”

³⁶Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, “Amen! This is what the Lord, the God of my master, has declared! ³⁷The Lord has always helped you, our king. May he also help Solomon and make King Solomon’s throne an even greater throne than yours.”

³⁸So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada left with the Kerethites and Pelethites. ⁿ They put Solomon on King David’s mule and took him to the spring called Gihon. ³⁹Zadok the priest took the container of olive oil from the Holy Tent and poured the oil on Solomon’s head to show he was the king. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people shouted, “Long live King Solomon!”
