“Verder het koning Dawid gesê: Roep vir my Sadok, die priester, en Natan, die profeet, en Benája, die seun van Jójada. Toe kom hulle in voor die koning, en die koning sê vir hulle: Neem die dienaars van julle heer met julle saam en laat my seun Salomo op my eie muil ry, en bring hom af na Gihon toe; en laat Sadok, die priester, en Natan, die profeet, hom daar as koning oor Israel salf, en julle moet op die ramshoring blaas en sê: Mag koning Salomo lewe! Dan moet julle agter hom optrek, dat hy kan inkom en op my troon sit; want hý moet koning wees in my plek, en ek het hom aangestel om ’n vors oor Israel en Juda te wees....Toe het Sadok, die priester, afgegaan saam met Natan, die profeet, en Benája, die seun van Jójada, en die Kreti en die Pleti, en hulle het Salomo laat ry op die muil van koning Dawid en hom na Gihon gebring. En die priester Sadok het die horing met olie uit die tent geneem en Salomo gesalf, en hulle het op die ramshoring geblaas, en die hele volk het gesê: Mag koning Salomo lewe! Toe gaan die hele volk op agter hom aan, terwyl die volk op fluite speel en hulle verheug met groot blydskap, sodat die aarde geskeur het van hulle geluid. En Adónia het dit gehoor en al die genooides wat by hom was, toe hulle net klaar geëet het; Joab het ook die geluid van die ramshoring gehoor en gesê: Waarom is die geluid van die stad rumoerig? Terwyl hy nog spreek, kom Jónatan, die seun van die priester Ábjatar, daar aan; en Adónia sê: Kom in, want jy is ’n wakker man en bring ’n goeie boodskap. Maar Jónatan antwoord Adónia en sê: Ja, maar ons heer die koning Dawid het Salomo koning gemaak! En die koning het Sadok, die priester, en Natan, die profeet, en Benája, die seun van Jójada, en die Kreti en die Pleti met hom saam gestuur, en hulle het hom op die koning se muil laat ry; en Sadok, die priester, en Natan, die profeet, het hom in Gihon as koning gesalf, en daarvandaan het hulle met blydskap opgetrek, sodat die stad opgewonde geraak het; dit is die geluid wat julle gehoor het. En ook het Salomo die op die koninklike troon gaan sit” (1 Konings 1:32-35,38-46).

Compare this with the Zadok priesthood — the holy remnant! "Then King David said, Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came into the king’s presence. And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon. And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel, and blow the trumpet and say, Long live King Solomon! Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne and be king in my place; for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.... So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethities went down and had Solomon ride on King David's mule, and brought him to Gihon. Zadok the priest then took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, Long live King Solomon! And all the people went up after him, and the people were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth shook at their noise. Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it, as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is the city making such an uproar? While he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. Then Adonijah said, Come in, for you are a valiant man and bring good news. But Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king. The king has also sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites; and they have made him ride on the king's mule. And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king of Gihon, and they have come up from their rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which you have heard. Besides, Solomon has even taken his seat on the throne of the kingdom" (1 Kings 1:32-35, 38-46).
