1 Kings 1:33-35

New International Reader's Version

³³ He said to them, “Take my officials with you. Have my son Solomon get on my own mule. Take him down to the Gihon spring. ³⁴ Have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him as king over Israel there. Blow a trumpet. Shout, ‘May King Solomon live a long time!’ ³⁵ Then come back up to the city with him. Have him sit on my throne. He will rule in my place. I’ve appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
