33 he said to them: 'Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him to Gihon.
34 And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, 'As king Solomon lives.'
35 And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.'
36 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: 'Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.
37 In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, king David.'
