He is the one who is to become king in my place; he is the one I have commanded to be ruler 1:35 1Sm 13:14 over Israel and Judah." 1:35 2Sm 2:4; 5:3
36 "Amen," Benaiah son of Jehoiada replied to the king. "May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, so affirm it. 1:36 Jr 28:637 Just as the Lord was with my lord the king, 1:37 1Sm 20:13 so may he 1:37 Alt Hb tradition reads so he will be with Solomon and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David." 1:37 1Kg 1:47
38 Then the priest Zadok, the prophet Nathan, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites 1:38 2Sm 8:18 went down, had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and took him to Gihon.
