35 Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. For I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”
36 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, a“Amen! May the Lord God of my lord the king say so too.
37 aAs the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may He be with Solomon, and bmake his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, aBenaiah the son of Jehoiada, the bCherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and took him to Gihon.
39 Then Zadok the priest took a horn of aoil from the tabernacle and banointed Solomon. And they blew the horn, cand all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
