28Then KingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH6030, “Call inH7121 BathshebaH1339 for me.” So she cameH935 into the king’sH4428 presenceH6440 and stoodH5975 before himH6440H4428.

29And the kingH4428 swore an oathH7650, sayingH559, “As surely as the LORDH3068 livesH2416, whoH834 has redeemedH6299 my lifeH5315 from allH3605 distressH6869, 30I will carry outH6213 this veryH2088 dayH3117 exactlyH3588 whatH834 I sworeH7650 to you by the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478H559: SurelyH3588 your sonH1121 SolomonH8010 will reignH4427 after meH310, and heH1931 will sitH3427 onH5921 my throneH3678 in my placeH8478.”

31BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915 facedownH639H776 in homageH7812 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “May my lordH113 KingH4428 DavidH1732 liveH2421 foreverH5769!”

33“TakeH3947 my servantsH5650H113 with youH5973,” saidH559 the kingH4428. “SetH7392 my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 onH5921 my own muleH6506 and take him downH3381 toH413 GihonH1521. 34ThereH8033 ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 are to anointH4886 himH853 kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478. You are to blowH8628 the ram’s hornH7782 and declareH559, ‘Long liveH2421 KingH4428 SolomonH8010!’
