Expanded Bible

³⁷ The Lord has always ·helped [been with] you, our king. May he also ·help [be with] Solomon and make King Solomon’s throne an even greater throne than ·yours [^Lthe throne of my lord King David].”

³⁸ So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada left with the Kerethites and Pelethites [^Cking’s bodyguard]. They put Solomon on King David’s mule and took him to the spring called Gihon. ³⁹ Zadok the priest took the ·container [flask; horn] of olive oil from the ·Holy Tent [sacred tent; ^Ltent] and ·poured the oil on Solomon’s head to show he was the king [^Lanointed Solomon]. Then they blew the ·trumpet [ram’s horn], and all the people shouted, “Long live King Solomon!”
