1 Kings 1:32-40
32 Then King David said, “Call to me aZadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” And they came into the king’s presence. 33 And the king said to them, “Take with you athe servants of your lord, and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to bGihon. 34 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet shall aanoint him there as king over Israel and bblow the trumpet and say, ‘cLong 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 commanded him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.” 36 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, “Amen! Thus may Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, say. 37 aAs Yahweh has been with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon, and bmake his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David!”

Then they cblew the trumpet, and all the people said, “dLong live King Solomon!” 40 And all the people went up after him, and the people were playing on flutes and were glad with great gladness, so that the earth shook at their sound.
