Melachim Alef 1:45

45 And Tzadok HaKohen and Natan HaNavi have anointed him Melech at Gichon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang out. This is the noise that ye have heard.

Melachim Alef 1:45 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:45

And Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, have anointed
him king in Gihon
Or at Gihon; that is, Siloah, according to the Targum; here the act of anointing is ascribed to them both, as in ( 1 Kings 1:34 ) ; Zadok very probably applied the oil to him, and Nathan might be some way or other assisting in it; however he was here present, not only as approving of it, but declaring it as a prophet, that it was according to the will of God, as well as of the king:

and they are come up from thence rejoicing;
with a multitude of people along with them:

so that the city rang again;
with the blowing of trumpets, the sound of pipings, and the shouts of the people:

this [is] the noise which ye have heard;
which had so alarmed them.

Melachim Alef 1:45 In-Context

43 And Yonatan answered and said to Adoniyah, Just the opposite! Verily adoneinu HaMelech Dovid hath made Sh’lomo Melech!
44 And HaMelech hath sent with him Tzadok HaKohen, and Natan HaNavi, and Benayah Ben Yehoyada, and the Kereti, and the Peleti, and they have had him ride upon pirdah (mule) of HaMelech:
45 And Tzadok HaKohen and Natan HaNavi have anointed him Melech at Gichon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang out. This is the noise that ye have heard.
46 And also Sh’lomo sitteth on the kisse hameluchah.
47 And moreover the avadim of HaMelech came to make a brocha on adoneinu HaMelech Dovid, saying, May your G-d make the shem of Sh’lomo more famous than thy shem, and make his kisse greater than thy kisse. And HaMelech bowed himself upon the mishkav (bed).
