33 Then the king said unto them, Take with you the [a]servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and carry him down to Gihon.

34 And let Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anoint him there king over Israel, and blow ye the trumpet, and say, God save King Solomon.

35 Then come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne: and he shall be King in my stead: for I have [b]appointed him to be prince over Israel, and over Judah.
