35Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place; for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.' 36Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, 'Amen! May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say the same. 37Just as the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David!'
38So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.

40And all the people went up after him, and the people were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth shook at their noise.
