38So 1ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, 2the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432 wentH3381 downH3381 and had SolomonH8010 rideH7392 on KingH4428 David’sH1732 muleH6506, and broughtH1980 him to 3GihonH1521. 39And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 then 4tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081 from the tentH168 and 5anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. Then they 6blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 saidH559, “7Long liveH2421 KingH4428 SolomonH8010!” 40And allH3605 the peopleH5971 wentH5927 upH5927 afterH310 him, and the peopleH5971 were playingH2490 on flutesH2485 and rejoicingH8056 with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 8shookH1234 at their noiseH6963.

41Now AdonijahH138 and allH3605 the guestsH7121 whoH834 were with him heardH8085 this as they finishedH3615 eatingH398. When JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, “WhyH4069 is the 9cityH7151 makingH1993 such anH1993 uproarH1993?” 42While he was stillH5750 speakingH1696, beholdH2009, 10JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935. Then AdonijahH138 saidH559, “ComeH935 inH935, for 11you are a valiantH2428 manH376 and you bringH1319 goodH2896 newsH1319.” 43But JonathanH3083 repliedH6030 to AdonijahH138, “On the contraryH61! 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 mountedH7392 him on the king’sH4428 muleH6506.
