surely so I do this day.. ³¹ And Bath-Sheba bows--face to the earth--and does obeisance to the king, and said, `Let my lord, king David, live to the eon.. ³² And king David said, `Call for me for Zadok the priest, and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada;' and they come in before the king. ³³ And the king said to them, `Take with you the servants of your lord, and you have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine own mule, and caused him to go down unto Gihon, ³⁴ and anointed him there has Zadok the priest--and Nathan the prophet--for king over Israel, and you have blown with a trumpet, and said, Let king Solomon live;" ³⁵ and you have come up after him, and he has come in and has sat on my throne, and he does reign in my stead, and him I have appointed to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.. ³⁶ And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answers the king, and said, `Amen! so does Yahweh, Elohim of my lord the king, say;" ³⁷ as Yahweh has been with my lord the king, so is He with Solomon, and does make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.. ³⁸ And Zadok the priest goes down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of king David, and cause him to go unto Gihon, ³⁹ and Zadok the priest takes the horn of oil out of the tent, and anoints Solomon, and they blow with a trumpet, and all the people say, `Let king Solomon live.. ⁴⁰ And all the people come up after him, and the people are piping with pipes, and rejoicing--great joy, and the earth rends with their voice. ⁴¹ And Adonijah hears, and all those called, who [are] with him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab hears the noise of the trumpet, and said, `Wherefore [is] the noise of the city roaring?. ⁴² He is yet speaking, and lo, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest has come in, and Adonijah said, `Come in, for a man of valor you [are], and you bear good tidings.. ⁴³ And Jonathan answers and said to Adonijah, `Verily our lord king David has caused Solomon to reign, ⁴⁴ and the king sends with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king's mule, ⁴⁵ and they anoint him--Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet--for king in Gihon, and are come up thence rejoicing, and the city is moved;
