<p class="bodytext">Just then,<n id="1" /> while she was still speaking to the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.

But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David&#8217;s elite warriors<n id="1" /> did not ally themselves<n id="2" /> with Adonijah.

There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet will anoint<n id="1" /> him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet and declare, &#8216;Long live King Solomon!&#8217;

Then Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed<n id="1" /> him king in Gihon. They went up from there rejoicing, and the city is in an uproar. That is the sound you hear.

That day he also announced<n id="1" /> a sign, &#8220;This is the sign the <sc>Lordsc> has predetermined:<n id="2" /> The altar will be split open and the ashes<n id="3" /> on it will fall to the ground.&#8221;<n id="4" />

All the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, &#8220;Attack Ramoth Gilead! You will succeed; the <sc>Lordsc> will hand it over to the king.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">When he came before the king, the king asked him, &#8220;Micaiah, should we attack Ramoth Gilead or not?&#8221; He answered him, &#8220;Attack! You will succeed; the <sc>Lordsc> will hand it over to the king.&#8221;<n id="1" />
