1 Kings 1:38-50
38So ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, wentH3381 downH3381, and caused SolomonH8010 to rideH7392 upon kingH4428 David’s muleH6506, and broughtH3381 him to GihonH1521. 39And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081 out of the TentH168, and anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. And they blewH8628 the trumpetH7782; and all the peopleH5971 saidH559, Long liveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010. 40And all the peopleH5971 cameH5927 up after him, and the peopleH5971 piped with pipes, and rejoiced with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 rent with the soundH6963 of them.
41And AdonijahH138 and all the guests that were with him heardH8085 it as they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398. And whenH834 JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproarH1993? 42While he yetH5750 spake, behold, JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935: and AdonijahH138 saidH559, ComeH935 in; for thou art a worthy manH376, and bringest goodH2896 tidings. 43And JonathanH3129 answered and saidH559 to AdonijahH138, Verily our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 hath made SolomonH8010 kingH4428: 44and the kingH4428 hath sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to rideH7392 upon the king’sH4428 muleH6506; 45and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521; and they are comeH5927 up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heardH8085. 46And alsoH1571 SolomonH8010 sitteth on the throneH3678 of the kingdom. 47And moreover the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 cameH935 to blessH1288 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Thy GodH430 makeH1431 the nameH8034 of SolomonH8010 betterH3190 than thy nameH8034, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than thy throneH3678: and the kingH4428 bowedH7812 himself upon the bedH4904. 48And alsoH1571 thusH3602 saidH559 the kingH4428, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who hath givenH5414 oneH834 to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 this dayH3117, mine eyesH5869 even seeingH7200 it.
49And all the guests of AdonijahH138 were afraid, and roseH6965 up, and went every manH376 his wayH1870. 50And AdonijahH138 fearedH3372 because of SolomonH8010; and he aroseH6965, and went, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
