³⁵ You are to come up after him, and he is to come in and sit on my throne. He is the one who is to become king in my place; he is the one I have commanded to be ruler^(A) over Israel and Judah.”^(B)

³⁶ “Amen,” Benaiah son of Jehoiada replied to the king. “May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, so affirm it.^{(C) 37} Just as the Lord was with my lord the king,^(D) so may he^[a] be with Solomon and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”^(E)
