1 Kings 1:37-39
New King James Version
37 (A)As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may He be with Solomon, and (B)make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, (C)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the (D)Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and took him to Gihon. 39 Then Zadok the priest took a horn of (E)oil from the tabernacle and (F)anointed Solomon. And they blew the horn, (G)and all the people said, [a]“Long live King Solomon!”
