1 Kings 1:32-45

[32] And king  David  said,  Call  me Zadok  the priest,  and Nathan  the prophet,  and Benaiah  the son  of Jehoiada.  And they came  before  the king.  [33] The king  also said  unto them, Take  with you the servants  of your lord,  and cause Solomon  my son  to ride  upon mine own mule,  and bring him down  to Gihon:  [34] And let Zadok  the priest  and Nathan  the prophet  anoint  him there king  over Israel:  and blow  ye with the trumpet,  and say,  God save  king  Solomon.  [35] Then 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.  [36] And Benaiah  the son  of Jehoiada  answered  the king,  and said,  Amen:  the LORD  God  of my lord  the king  say  [37] As the LORD  hath been with my lord  the king,  even so be he with Solomon,  his throne  greater  than the throne  of my lord  king  David.  [38] So Zadok  the priest,  and Nathan  the prophet,  and Benaiah  the son  of Jehoiada,  and the Pelethites,  went down,  and caused Solomon  to ride  upon king  David's  mule,  him to Gihon.  [39] And Zadok  the priest  took  an horn  of oil  out of the tabernacle,  and anointed  Solomon.  And they blew  the trumpet;  and all the people  said,  God save  king  Solomon.  [40] And 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  [41] And Adonijah  and all the guests  that were with him heard  it as they had made an end  of eating.  And when Joab  heard  the sound  of the trumpet,  he said,  Wherefore is this noise  of the city  being in an uproar?  [42] And while he yet spake,  behold, Jonathan  the son  of Abiathar  the priest  came:  and Adonijah  said  unto him, Come in;  for thou art a valiant  man,  good  tidings.  [43] And Jonathan  answered  and said  to Adonijah,  Verily  our lord  king  David  hath made Solomon  king.  [44] And the king  hath sent  with him Zadok  the priest,  and Nathan  the prophet,  and Benaiah  the son  of Jehoiada,  and the Cherethites,  and the Pelethites,  and they have caused him to ride  upon the king's  mule:  [45] And Zadok  the priest  and Nathan  the prophet  have anointed  him king  in Gihon:  and they are come up  from thence rejoicing,  so that the city  rang again.  This is the noise  that ye have heard.
