1 Kings 1:41-49

41And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard [it] as they were finishing their repast; and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and he said, Wherefore this noise of the city in an uproar?

42While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said [to him], Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.

43And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Indeed, our lord king David has made Solomon king.

44And the king has 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;

45and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which ye have heard.

46And also Solomon is sitting on the throne of the kingdom.

47And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Thy 1God make the name of Solomon more excellent than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne! And the king bowed himself on the bed.

48And also thus said the king: Blessed be Jehovah, the 2God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.

49And all Adonijah's guests were afraid, and rose up and went every man his way.
