32Then King David said, “Call Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada to me.” And they came before the king.

33And the king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and have my son Solomon ride on the mule that is mine, and bring him down to Gihon.”

34There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet shall anoint him king over Israel, and you shall blow the trumpet and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’

35Then you shall go up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall reign in my place; and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
