11:001:028 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she
came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
11:001:029 And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath
redeemed my soul out of all distress,
11:001:030 Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
11:001:031 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did
reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live
for ever.
11:001:032 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the
prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before
the king.
11:001:033 The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of
your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own
mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
11:001:034 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him
there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say,
God save king Solomon.
11:001:035 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon
my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have
appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
11:001:036 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said,
Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
11:001:037 As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
