1 Kings 1:44-46

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁴ David sent Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet along with Solomon. He also sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, with him. He sent the Kerethites and Pelethites with him too. They put him on the king’s mule. ⁴⁵ They took him down to the Gihon spring. There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him as king. Now they’ve gone back up to the city. They were cheering all the way. The city is filled with the sound of it. That’s the noise you hear. ⁴⁶ And that’s not all. Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
