33 The king also said to them, 2 Sam. 20:6"Take with you the servants of your lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own Esth. 6:8mule, and take him down to 2 Chr. 32:30; 33:14Gihon. 34 There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet 1 Sam. 10:1; 16:3, 12; 2 Sam. 2:4; 5:3; 1 Kin. 19:16; 2 Kin. 9:3; 11:12; 1 Chr. 29:22anoint him king over Israel; and 2 Sam. 15:10; 2 Kin. 9:13; 11:14blow the horn, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ 35 Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. For I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah."
36 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, Jer. 28:6"Amen! May the Lord God of my lord the king say so too.37 Josh. 1:5, 17; 1 Sam. 20:13As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may He be with Solomon, and 1 Kin. 1:47make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David."
38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, 2 Sam. 8:18; 23:20–23Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the 2 Sam. 20:7; 1 Chr. 18:17Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and took him to Gihon.
