1 Kings 1:41-49

[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.  [46] And also Solomon  sitteth  on the throne  of the kingdom.  [47] And moreover the king's  servants  came  to bless  our lord  king  David,  saying,  God  make the name  of Solomon  better  than thy name,  his throne  greater  than thy throne.  And the king  bowed  himself upon the bed.  [48] And also thus said  the king,  Blessed  be the LORD  God  of Israel,  which hath given  one to sit  on my throne  this day,  mine eyes  even seeing  [49] And all the guests  that were with Adonijah  were afraid,  and rose up,  every man  his way.
