1 Kings 1:28-40 - Solomon Confirmed King
28 King David said: Ask Bathsheba to come back in. She came and stood before him. 29 Then he said to her: I promise you by the living God Jehovah (YHWH), who has rescued me from all my troubles, 30 that today I will keep the promise I made to you in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, that your son Solomon would succeed me as king.
31 Bathsheba bowed low and said: May my lord the king live a very long time!
32 Then King David sent for Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah. When they came in, 33 he said to them: Take my court officials with you; have my son Solomon ride my own mule, and escort him to Gihon Spring, 34 Zadok and Nathan are to anoint him as king of Israel. Then blow the trumpet and shout: Long live King Solomon! 35 Follow him back here when he comes to sit on my throne. He will succeed me as king. He is the one I have chosen to be the ruler over Israel and Judah.
36 It will be done, answered Benaiah, and may Jehovah your God confirm it! 37 Jehovah has been with Your Majesty. May he also be with Solomon and make his reign even more prosperous than yours.
38 So Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and the royal bodyguards put Solomon on King David's mule and escorted him to Gihon Spring. 39 Zadok took the container of olive oil that he had brought from the Tent of Jehovah's presence, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet, and all the people shouted: Long live King Solomon! 40 All the people followed him. They blew flutes and celebrated so loudly that their voices shook the ground.
