36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada responded[a] to the king: “So be it![b] May the Lord God of my master the king confirm it![c] 37 As the Lord is with my master the king, so may he be with Solomon, and may he make him an even greater king than my master King David!”[d]

38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites[e] went down, put Solomon on King David’s mule, and led him to Gihon.
