33 And the king said to them, “Take with you (A)the servants of your lord, and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to (B)Gihon. 34 And have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet (C)anoint him there as king over Israel, and (D)blow the trumpet and say, ‘(E)Long live King Solomon!’ 35 Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place; for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.” 36 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, “Amen! May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say the same. 37 (F)Just as the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon, and (G)make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David!”
Solomon Anointed King
38 So (H)Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, (I)the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to (J)Gihon. 39 And Zadok the priest then (K)took the horn of oil from the tent and (L)anointed Solomon. Then they (M)blew the trumpet, and all the people said, “(N)Long live King Solomon!”

33 The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.
35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the Lord God of my lord the king say so too.
37 As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
