1 Kings 1:32-49
32Then KingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559, “CallH7121 to me 1ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077.” And they cameH935 into the king’sH4428 presenceH6440. 33The kingH4428 saidH559 to them, “TakeH3947 with you 2the servantsH5650 of your lordH113, and have my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 rideH7392 on my own muleH6506, and bringH3381 him downH3381 to 3GihonH1521. 34Let ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 4anointH4886 him thereH8033 as kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478, and 5blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 and sayH559, ‘6Long liveH2421 KingH4428 SolomonH8010!’ 35Then you shall comeH5927 up afterH310 him, and he shall comeH935 and sitH3427 on my throneH3678 and be kingH4427 in my placeH8478; for I have appointedH6680 him to be rulerH5057 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.” 36BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 answeredH6030 the kingH4428 and saidH559, “AmenH543! ThusH3651 may the LordH3068, the GodH430 of my lordH113 the kingH4428, sayH559. 377As the LordH3068 has beenH1961 with my lordH113 the kingH4428, soH3651 may He be with SolomonH8010, and 8makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 thanH4480 the throneH3678 of my lordH113 KingH4428 DavidH1732!”
38So 9ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, 10the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432 wentH3381 downH3381 and had SolomonH8010 rideH7392 on KingH4428 David’sH1732 muleH6506, and broughtH1980 him to 11GihonH1521. 39ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 then 12tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081 from the tentH168 and 13anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. Then they 14blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 saidH559, “15Long liveH2421 KingH4428 SolomonH8010!” 40AllH3605 the peopleH5971 wentH5927 up afterH310 him, and the peopleH5971 16were playingH2490 on flutesH2485 and rejoicingH8056 with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 17shookH1234 at their noiseH6963.
41Now AdonijahH138 and allH3605 the guestsH7121 whoH834 were with him heardH8085 it as they finishedH3615 eatingH398. When JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, “WhyH4069 18is the cityH7151 makingH1993 such an uproarH1993?” 42While he was stillH5750 speakingH1696, beholdH2009, 19JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935. Then AdonijahH138 saidH559, “ComeH935 in, for 20you are a valiantH2428 manH376 and bringH1319 goodH2896 newsH1319.” 43But JonathanH3083 repliedH6030 to AdonijahH138, “NoH61! Our lordH113 KingH4428 DavidH1732 has madeH4427 SolomonH8010 kingH4428. 44The kingH4428 has also sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432; and they have made him rideH7392 on the king’sH4428 muleH6506. 45ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521, and they have comeH5927 up from thereH8033 rejoicingH8056, 21so that the cityH7151 is in an uproarH1949. ThisH1931 is the noiseH6963 whichH834 you have heardH8085. 46BesidesH1571, 22SolomonH8010 has evenH1571 takenH3427 his seatH3427 on the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4410. 47MoreoverH1571, the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 cameH935 to blessH1288 our lordH113 KingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, ‘May 23your GodH430 makeH3190 the nameH8034 of SolomonH8010 betterH3190 thanH4480 your nameH8034 and his throneH3678 greaterH1431 thanH4480 your throneH3678!’ And 24the kingH4428 bowedH7812 himself on the bedH4904. 48The kingH4428 has alsoH1571 saidH559 thusH3602, ‘BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, whoH834 25has grantedH5414 one to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 todayH3117 while my own eyesH5869 seeH7200 it.’”
49Then allH3605 the guestsH7121 of AdonijahH138 were terrifiedH2729; and they aroseH6965 and eachH376 wentH1980 on his wayH1870.
