1 Kings 1:31-37

31Then Bath-sheba bowedH7812 with her faceH639 to the earthH776, and did obeisance to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 liveH2421 for everH5769.

32And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559, CallH7121 to me ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077. And they cameH935 before the kingH4428. 33And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, TakeH3947 with you the servantsH5650 of your lordH113, and causeH7392 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to rideH7392 upon mine own muleH6506, and bringH3381 him downH3381 to GihonH1521: 34and let ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 anointH4886 him there kingH4428 over IsraelH3478; and blowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782, and sayH559, Long liveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010. 35Then ye shall comeH935 up after him, and he shall comeH935 and sitH3427 upon my throneH3678; for he shall beH1961 kingH4427 in my stead; and I have appointedH6680 him to beH1961 princeH5057 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063. 36And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 answered the kingH4428, and saidH559, AmenH543: Jehovah, the GodH430 of my lord the kingH4428, sayH559 soH3651 too. 37As Jehovah hath beenH1961 with my lord the kingH4428, even soH3651 beH1961 he with SolomonH8010, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than the throneH3678 of my lord kingH4428 DavidH1732.
