1 Kings 1:28-34
28King David responded, “Summon Bathsheba!” She came and stood before the king.
29The king swore an oath: “As certainly as the Lord lives (he who has rescued me from every danger),
30I will keep today the oath I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel: ‘Surely Solomon your son will be king after me; he will sit in my place on my throne.’”
31Bathsheba bowed down to the king with her face to the floor and said, “May my master, King David, live forever!”
32King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king,
33and he told them, “Take your master’s servants with you, put my son Solomon on my mule, and lead him down to Gihon.
34There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet will anoint him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
