1 Kings 1:38-40

Contemporary English Version

³⁸ Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah left and took along the two groups of David's special bodyguards.^[a] Solomon rode on David's mule as they led him to Gihon Spring. ³⁹ Zadok the priest brought some olive oil from the sacred tent and poured it on Solomon's head to show that he was now king. A trumpet was blown and everyone shouted, “Long live King Solomon!” ⁴⁰ Then they played flutes and celebrated as they followed Solomon back to Jerusalem. They made so much noise that the ground shook.
