29 Then the king made a promise: “The Lord has saved me from every danger. As surely as he lives, I make this promise to you.
30 Today I will do what I promised you in the past. I made that promise by the power of the Lord, the God of Israel. I promised that your son Solomon would be the next king after me. I promised that he would take my place on my throne, and I will keep my promise!”
31 Then Bathsheba bowed down before the king and said, “Long live King David!”
32 Then King David said, “Tell Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada to come in here.” So the three men came in to meet with the king.
33 Then the king said to them, “Take my officers with you. Put my son Solomon on my mule and take him to Gihon Spring.
34 There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet will anoint him to be the new king of Israel. Blow the trumpet and announce, ‘This is the new king, Solomon!’
