1 Kings 1:34-36

The Voice

³⁴ Zadok and Nathan, listen. When you arrive at Gihon, anoint Solomon as Israel’s king. Sound the trumpet, and proclaim, “May King Solomon have a long life!” ³⁵ Then follow after him, for he will then sit on my throne and replace me as king. I have named him ruler over Israel and Judah even though he is not my oldest son.

Benaiah (Jehoiada’s son): ³⁶ So be it! May the Eternal One, the True God of my lord and king, agree and bless Solomon.
