Solomon Anointed King

³⁸ So ^(A)Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, ^(B)the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to ^(C)Gihon. ³⁹ Zadok the priest then ^(D)took the horn of oil from the tent and ^(E)anointed Solomon. Then they ^(F)blew the trumpet, and all the people said, “^(G)Long live King Solomon!” ⁴⁰ All the people went up after him, and the people ^[a]were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth ^[b]shook at their noise.
