1 Kings 1:36

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king
In the name of the rest:

and said, Amen;

1 Kings 1:36 In-Context

34 When you get there, Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet will anoint him king over Israel. Then blow the ram's horn trumpet and shout, 'Long live King Solomon!'

35 You will then accompany him as he enters and takes his place on my throne, succeeding me as king. I have named him ruler over Israel and Judah."

36 Benaiah son of Jehoiada backed the king: "Yes! And may God, the God of my master the king, confirm it!

37 Just as God has been with my master the king, may he also be with Solomon and make his rule even greater than that of my master King David!"

38 Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the king's personal bodyguard (the Kerethites and Pelethites) went down, mounted Solomon on King David's mule, and paraded with him to Gihon.
