1 Kings 1:44-46

International Standard Version

⁴⁴ The king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, and the special forces^[a] and mercenaries,^[b] along with Solomon, who is riding the king’s personal mule. ⁴⁵ Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him in Gihon, and they just left from there rejoicing, and that’s why the city is all in an uproar. That’s the noise that you’ve been hearing! ⁴⁶ Solomon now sits on the royal throne.
