1 Kings 1:34-38

34There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet will anoint him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’

35Then follow him up as he comes and sits on my throne. He will be king in my place; I have decreed that he will be ruler over Israel and Judah.”

36Benaiah son of Jehoiada responded to the king: “So be it! May the Lord God of my master the king confirm it!

37As the Lord is with my master the king, so may he be with Solomon, and may he make him an even greater king than my master King David!”

38So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites went down, put Solomon on King David’s mule, and led him to Gihon.
