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!”  ‡

41 Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the horn, he said, “Why is the city in such a noisy uproar?”

42 While he was still speaking, there came ^aJonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest. And Adonijah said to him, “Come in, for ^byou are a prominent man, and bring good news.”  ‡
