38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, (A)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the (B)Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and took him to Gihon. 39 Then Zadok the priest took a horn of (C)oil from the tabernacle and (D)anointed Solomon. And they blew the horn, (E)and all the people said, [a]“Long live King Solomon!” 40 And all the people went up after him; and the people played the flutes and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth seemed to split with their sound.
