1 Kings 1:36-38

International Children’s Bible

³⁶ Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, “This is good! And may your God make it happen. ³⁷ The Lord has always helped you, our king. Let the Lord also help Solomon. And let King Solomon be an even greater king than you.”

³⁸ So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada went down. The Kerethites and Pelethites, the king’s bodyguards, went with them. They put Solomon on King David’s mule and went with him to the spring called Gihon.
