1 Kings 1:35-37

New International Reader's Version

³⁵ Then come back up to the city with him. Have him sit on my throne. He will rule in my place. I’ve appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”

³⁶ Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answered the king. “Amen!” he said. “May the Lord your God make it come true. ³⁷ You are my king and master. The Lord has been with you. May he also be with Solomon. King David, may the Lord make Solomon’s kingdom even greater than yours!”
