45 So Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they have gone up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 Also Solomon asits on the throne of the kingdom.
47 And moreover the king’s servants have gone to bless our lord King David, saying, a‘May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ bThen the king bowed himself on the bed.
48 Also the king said thus, ‘Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has agiven one to sit on my throne this day, while my eyes see bit!’ ”
49 So all the guests who were with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and each one went his way.
