1 Kings 1:28-40 - Solomon Confirmed King

28 And king David will answer and say, Call to me for Bath-sheba. And she will come in before the king and stand before the king. 29 And the king will swear, and say, Jehovah lives who redeemed my soul from all straits. 30 For us I swear to thee by Jehovah the God of Israel, saying that Solomon thy son shall reign after me and he shall sit upon my throne instead of me; for so I will do this day.

31 And Bath-sheba will bow the face to the earth and worship to the king, and say, My lord king David shall live forever,

32 And king David will say, Call to me for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah the son of Jehoida. And they will come in before the king. 33 And the king will say to them, Take with you the servants of your lord and cause Solomon my son to ride upon the mule which is to me, and bring down to Gihon: 34 And Zadok the priest anointed him there, and Nathan the prophet, for king over Israel: and strike ye upon the trumpet and say, King Solomon shall live. 35 And come up after him, and he coming, and he shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign instead of me: and I commanded him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

36 And Benaiah, son of Jehoida, will answer the king and say, Verily: so will Jehovah say, the God of my lord the king. 37 As Jehovah was with my lord the king, so will he be with Solomon, and he will magnify his throne above the throne of my lord, king David.

38 And Zadok the priest will go down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoida, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and they will cause Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and they will cause him to go to Gihon. 39 And Zadok the priest will take a horn of oil from the tent and will anoint Solomon; and they will strike upon the trumpet, and all the people will say, King Solomon shall live. 40 And all the people will go up after him, and the people piping with pipes and rejoicing with great joy, and the earth will break forth with their voice.
