Bible verse
Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
1 Kings 1:46 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Kings 1.
42 As he was speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. “Come in,” said Adonijah, “for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news.”
43 “Not at all,” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
44 And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule.
45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
46 Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
47 The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king has bowed in worship on his bed,
48 saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’”
49 At this, all the guests of Adonijah arose in terror and scattered.
50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to take hold of the horns of the altar.
