1 Kings 1:38-40

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁸ So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites [the king’s bodyguards] went down and caused Solomon to ride upon King David’s mule and brought him to Gihon.

³⁹ Zadok the priest took a horn of oil out of the tent and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet and all the people said, Long live King Solomon!

⁴⁰ All the people followed him; they played on pipes and rejoiced greatly, so that the earth [resounded] with the joyful sound.
