38 Then Zaʹdok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Be·naiʹah+ the son of Je·hoiʹa·da, and the Cherʹe·thites and the Pelʹe·thites+ went down and had Solʹo·mon ride on the mule of King David,+ and they brought him to Giʹhon.+ 39 Zaʹdok the priest now took the horn of oil+ out of the tent+ and anointed Solʹo·mon,+ and they began to blow the horn, and all the people began shouting: “Long live King Solʹo·mon!” 40 After that all the people followed him and went up, playing flutes and rejoicing greatly, so that the earth was split open by their noise.+

23 When David had grown old and was near the end of his life,* he made his son Solʹo·mon king over Israel.+
