1 Kings 1:34–45

34 There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointe him king over Israel. Blow the trumpetf and shout, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ 35 Then you are to go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”

36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, “Amen! May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, so declare it. 37 As the Lord was with my lord the king, so may he be withg Solomon to make his throne even greaterh than the throne of my lord King David!”

38 So Zadoki the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethitesj and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon mount King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.k 39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oill from the sacred tentm and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpetn and all the people shouted,o “Long live King Solomon!” 40 And all the people went up after him, playing pipesp and rejoicing greatly, so that the ground shook with the sound.

41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they were finishing their feast. On hearing the sound of the trumpet, Joab asked, “What’s the meaning of all the noise in the city?”q

42 Even as he was speaking, Jonathanr son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in. A worthy man like you must be bringing good news.”s

43 “Not at all!” Jonathan answered. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king. 44 The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, and they have put him on the king’s mule, 45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon. From there they have gone up cheering, and the city resoundst with it. That’s the noise you hear.
