39 Then took Zadok the priest, the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon,––and they blew with a [ram’s] horn, and all the people said, Long live King Solomon!
40 And all the people came up after him, the people themselves also, playing with flutes, and rejoicing with great joy,––so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
41 And Adonijah, and all the guests who were with him, heard it, just as, they, had made an end of eating,––and, when Joab heard the sound of a horn, he said––Wherefore the noise of the city, in tumult? 42 While yet he was speaking, lo! Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest, came in,––and Adonijah said––Come in, for, a worthy man, thou art, and, good tidings, dost thou bring. 43 But Jonathan responded and said to Adonijah,––Of a truth, our lord, King David, hath made, Solomon, king. 44 And the king hath sent with him––Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, with the Cherethites, and the Pelethites,––and they have caused him to ride upon the mule of the king; 45 and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king, in Gihon, and they went up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again,––That, is the noise ye have heard. 46 Moreover also, Solomon hath taken his seat upon the throne of the kingdom. 47 Moreover also, the servants of the king have been in, to bless our lord King David, saying––Thy God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne,––And the king bowed himself upon his bed. 48 Moreover also, thus and thus, hath said the king,––Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, who hath given, today, one to sit upon my throne, mine own eyes also beholding it. 49 Then trembled and rose up, all Adonijah’s guests,––and departed, every man his own way. 50 Adonijah also, feared because of Solomon,––and rose and went, and caught hold of the horns of the altar. 51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Lo! Adonijah, feareth King Solomon,––lo! therefore, he hath laid hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear unto me at once that he will not put his servant to death with the sword. 52 Then said Solomon, If he will be a man of worth, there shall not one hair of him fall to the earth,––but, if mischief be found in him, then shall he die. 53 So King Solomon sent, and brought him down from the altar, and he came in, and bowed himself down to King Solomon,––and Solomon said unto him––Go to thine own house.
2 1 And, when the days of David drew near that he must die, he charged Solomon his son, saying:–– 2 I, am going the way of all the earth,––thou must be strong, therefore, and show thyself a man; 3 and keep the observances of Yahweh thy God, by walking in his ways, by keeping his statutes, his commandments, and his regulations and his testimonies, as written in the law of Moses,––to the end thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself; 4 to the end that Yahweh may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy sons will take heed to their way, by walking before me, in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, (then, said he) there shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off the throne of Israel.
41 And Adonijah, and all the guests who were with him, heard it, just as, they, had made an end of eating,––and, when Joab heard the sound of a horn, he said––Wherefore the noise of the city, in tumult? 42 While yet he was speaking, lo!

2 1 And, when the days of David drew near that he must die, he charged Solomon his son, saying:–– 2 I, am going the way of all the earth,––thou must be strong, therefore, and show thyself a man; 3 and keep the observances of Yahweh thy God, by walking in his ways, by keeping his statutes, his commandments, and his regulations and his testimonies, as written in the law of Moses,––to the end thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself; 4 to the end that Yahweh may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy sons will take heed to their way, by walking before me, in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, (then, said he) there shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off the throne of Israel.
