1 Kings 1:38-50

38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, ^aand the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule and brought him to Gihon. 39 There Zadok the priest took the horn of ^boil from the tent and ^canointed Solomon. ^dThen they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, ^e“Long live King Solomon!” 40 And all the people went up after him, playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth was split by their noise.

41 Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished feasting. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “What does this uproar in the city mean?” 42 While he was still speaking, behold, ^fJonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. And Adonijah said, “Come in, ^gfor you are a worthy man and bring good news.” 43 Jonathan answered Adonijah, “No, for our lord King David has made Solomon king, 44 and the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the ^hCherethites and the Pelethites. And they had him ride on the king’s mule. 45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at ⁱGihon, 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 ^jSolomon sits on the royal throne. 47 Moreover, the king’s servants came to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ^k‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than yours, and make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king ^lbowed himself on the bed. 48 And the king also said, ‘Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, ^mwho has granted someone ^{▼▼Septuagint one of my offspring} to sit on my throne this day, my own eyes seeing it.’”

49 Then all the guests of Adonijah trembled and rose, and each went his own way. 50 And Adonijah feared Solomon. So he arose and went ^oand took hold of ^pthe horns of the altar.
