1 Kings 1:38-50

Solomon Anointed King

38So aZadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, bthe Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to cGihon. 39Zadok the priest then dtook the horn of oil from the tent and eanointed Solomon. Then they fblew the trumpet, and all the people said, g“Long live King Solomon!” 40All the people went up after him, and the people ▼
▼ Lit fluting
were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth ▼
▼ Lit was split
shook at their noise.

41Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why ▼
▼ Lit is the sound of the city an uproar
is the city making such an uproar?” 42While he was still speaking, behold, kJonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. Then Adonijah said, “Come in, for lyou are a valiant man and bring good news.” 43But Jonathan replied to Adonijah, “No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king. 44“The king has also sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites; and they have made him ride on the king’s mule. 45“Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon, and they have come up from there rejoicing, mso that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which you have heard. 46“Besides, nSolomon has even taken his seat on the throne of the kingdom. 47“Moreover, the king’s servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, ‘May oyour God make the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!’ And pthe king bowed himself on the bed. 48“The king has also said thus, ‘Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who qhas granted one to sit on my throne today while my own eyes see it.’”

49Then all the guests of Adonijah were terrified; and they arose and each went on his way. 50And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, and he arose, went and rtook hold of the horns of the altar.
