39 And Sadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and having anointed Solomon, he blew the trumpet, and all the people shouted, Live king Solomon!
40 Then all the people followed him up, and danced in choirs, and made great rejoicings, so that the earth was rent with their shouting.
41 And Adonias, and all his guests, heard it just as they had done eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, What is this sound of the city in an uproar?
42 And while he was speaking, behold Jonathan, son of Abiathar the priest, entered. And Adonias said, Come in, for thou art a man of valour, and must have brought good news.
43 To which Jonathan replied, saying, Quite the reverse. Our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
44 The king sent with him Sadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias son of Jodae, and the Cherethites and the Phelethites, and they mounted him on the king's mule.
45 And Sadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, anointed him at Gion, and all the people went up thence rejoicing, so that the city resounded. This is the noise which you have heard.
46 And while Solomon sat on the throne of the kingdom,
47 the king's servants went in to congratulate our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and magnify his throne above thy throne! And the king bowed on his bed.
48 And the king said to this effect. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath this day set one of my seed on my throne, and my eyes see it.
49 Upon this all the guests of Adonias, were struck with consternation, and went every man his way,
50 And Adonias, being afraid of Solomon, arose and went, and took hold of the horns of the altar.
51 And when they told Solomon, saying, Behold Adonias is afraid of king Solomon, and hath hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let Solomon this day swear to me that he will not slay his servant with the sword,
52 Solomon said, If he shew himself a virtuous man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the ground; but if wickedness be found in him he shall be put to death.
53 Then king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar; and when he came, and had done homage to king Solomon, Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.
2 1 Now when David's days drew near that he should die, he spoke to his son Solomon, and said,
2 I am going the way of all the earth, be thou therefore strong, and shew thyself a man,
3 and keep the watch of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which are written in the law of Moses; that thou mayest know what thou art to do, according to all that I command thee;
4 that the Lord may establish his word which he hath spoken, saying, If thy children take heed to their ways, to walk before me in truth, with their whole heart, thou shalt not, said he, have a man cut off from the throne of Israel.
