1 Kings 1:28-34

28King David answered Nathan, ‘Send Bathsheba to me!’ So Bathsheba came and she stood in front of the king.

29Then the king made a strong promise. He said, ‘The Lord has saved me from every kind of trouble. I promise this, as surely as the Lord lives!

30I will certainly do what I already promised to you in the name of the Lord, Israel's God. Your son Solomon will become king after me. He will sit on my throne to rule.’

31Then Bathsheba bent down low with her face towards the ground. She said, ‘I pray that my master King David will live for ever!’

32King David said, ‘Send to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Jehoiada's son Benaiah.’ So they came to the king.

33The king said to them, ‘Take my officers with you and put my son Solomon on my own mule. Then lead him down to Gihon, as he rides on the mule.

34There, Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet can anoint him to be king over Israel. Make a loud noise with a trumpet and shout, “May King Solomon live for a long time!”
