²⁴ And Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him ^(A)whom the Lord has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?”

So all the people shouted and said, ^(B)“Long^[a] live the king!”

³⁹ Then Zadok the priest took a horn of ^(A)oil from the tabernacle and ^(B)anointed Solomon. And they blew the horn, ^(C)and all the people said, ^[a]“Long live King Solomon!”

^25 (A)For he has gone down today, and has sacrificed oxen and fattened cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king’s sons, and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and look! They are eating and drinking before him; and they say, ^(B)‘Long^[a] live King Adonijah!’

⁶ let seven men of his descendants be delivered ^(A)to us, and we will hang them before the Lord ^(B)in Gibeah of Saul, ^(C)whom the Lord chose.”

And the king said, “I will give them.”

¹⁵ you shall surely set a king over you ^(A)whom the Lord your God chooses; one ^(B)from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

¹² And he brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, and gave him the ^(A)Testimony;^[a] they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, ^(B)“Long live the king!”

⁹ Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

³⁴ There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet ^(A)anoint him king over Israel; and ^(B)blow the horn, and say, ^[a]‘Long live King Solomon!’

²¹ Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king ^(A)rests with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted as offenders.”
