28. And king David answered and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him,
29. The king swore and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
30. Even as I swore to thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.
31. And Bethsabee bowing with her face to the earth worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever.
32. King David also said: Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king,
33. He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon.
34. And let Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and you shall sound the trumpet, and shall say: God save king Solomon.
35. And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda.
36. And Banaias the son of Joiada answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord the God of my lord the king.
