1 Kings 1:38-50

38So ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, went downH3381, and caused SolomonH8010 to rideH7392 upon kingH4428 David’sH1732 muleH6506, and broughtH3212 him to GihonH1521. 39And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 tookH3947 an hornH7161 of oilH8081 out of the tabernacleH168, and anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. And they blewH8628 the trumpetH7782; and all the peopleH5971 saidH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010. 40And all the peopleH5971 came upH5927 afterH310 him, and the peopleH5971 pipedH2490 with pipesH2485, and rejoicedH8056 with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 rentH1234 with the soundH6963 of them.1

41And AdonijahH138 and all the guestsH7121 that were with him heardH8085 it as they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398. And when JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, Wherefore is this noiseH6963 of the cityH7151 being in an uproarH1993? 42And while he yet spakeH1696, behold, JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935: and AdonijahH138 saidH559 unto him, Come inH935; for thou art a valiantH2428 manH381H376, and bringestH1319 goodH2896 tidingsH1319. 43And JonathanH3129 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to AdonijahH138, VerilyH61 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 hath made SolomonH8010 kingH4427. 44And the kingH4428 hath sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and they have caused him to rideH7392 upon the king’sH4428 muleH6506: 45And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521: and they are come upH5927 from thence rejoicingH8056, so that the cityH7151 rang againH1949. This is the noiseH6963 that ye have heardH8085. 46And also SolomonH8010 sittethH3427 on the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4410. 47And moreover the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 cameH935 to blessH1288 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, GodH430 make the nameH8034 of SolomonH8010 betterH3190 than thy nameH8034, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than thy throneH3678. And the kingH4428 bowedH7812 himself upon the bedH4904. 48And also thus saidH559 the kingH4428, BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which hath givenH5414 one to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 this dayH3117, mine eyesH5869 even seeingH7200 it. 49And all the guestsH7121 that were with AdonijahH138 were afraidH2729, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 every manH376 his wayH1870.

50And AdonijahH138 fearedH3372 becauseH6440 of SolomonH8010, and aroseH6965, and wentH3212, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
