38 Alors le sacrificateur Tsadok descendit avec Nathan le prophète, Benaja, fils de Jehojada, les Kéréthiens et les Péléthiens; ils firent monter Salomon sur la mule du roi David, et ils le menèrent à Guihon.

39 Le sacrificateur Tsadok prit la corne d’huile dans la tente, et il oignit Salomon. On sonna de la trompette, et tout le peuple dit: Vive le roi Salomon!

40 Tout le peuple monta après lui, et le peuple jouait de la flûte et se livrait à une grande joie; la terre s’ébranlait par leurs cris.

41 Ce bruit fut entendu d’Adonija et de tous les conviés qui étaient avec lui, au moment où ils finissaient de manger. Joab, entendant le son de la trompette, dit: Pourquoi ce bruit de la ville en tumulte?

42 Il parlait encore lorsque Jonathan, fils du sacrificateur Abiathar, arriva. Et Adonija dit: Approche, car tu es un vaillant homme, et tu apportes de bonnes nouvelles.
