1 Kings 1:34

Solomon Anointed King

33“Take my servants with you,” said the king. “Set my son Solomon on my own mule and take him down to Gihon.34There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’35Then you shall go up with him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. For I have appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”
