Only may the LORD give you insight and understanding when he places you in charge of Israel, so you may obey the law of the LORD your God.Then you will succeed, if you carefully obey the rules and regulations which the LORD ordered Moses to give to Israel. Be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic!

Now give me wisdom and discernment so I can effectively lead this nation. Otherwise no one is able to make judicial decisions for this great nation of yours.”

but of the Son he says,“ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. So God, your God, has anointed you over your companions with the oil of rejoicing.”

The LORD’s spirit will rest on him– a spirit that gives extraordinary wisdom, a spirit that provides the ability to execute plans, a spirit that produces absolute loyalty to the LORD.

If the LORD does not build a house, then those who build it work in vain. If the LORD does not guard a city, then the watchman stands guard in vain.

Make my son Solomon willing to obey your commands, rules, and regulations, and to complete building the palace for which I have made preparations.”

Zadok the priest took a horn filled with olive oil from the tent and poured it on Solomon; the trumpet was blown and all the people declared,“ Long live King Solomon!”All the people followed him up, playing flutes and celebrating so loudly they made the ground shake.Now Adonijah and all his guests heard the commotion just as they had finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he asked,“ Why is there such a noisy commotion in the city?”As he was still speaking, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said,“ Come in, for an important man like you must be bringing good news.”Jonathan replied to Adonijah:“ No! Our master King David has made Solomon king.The king sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites and they put him on the king’s mule.Then Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him king in Gihon. They went up from there rejoicing, and the city is in an uproar. That is the sound you hear.Furthermore, Solomon has assumed the royal throne.The king’s servants have even come to congratulate our master King David, saying,‘ May your God make Solomon more famous than you and make him an even greater king than you!’ Then the king leaned on the bedand said this:‘ The LORD God of Israel is worthy of praise because today he has placed a successor on my throne and allowed me to see it.’”All of Adonijah’s guests panicked; they jumped up and rushed off their separate ways.Adonijah feared Solomon, so he got up and went and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.Solomon was told,“ Look, Adonijah fears you; see, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying,‘ May King Solomon solemnly promise me today that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’”Solomon said,“ If he is a loyal subject, not a hair of his head will be harmed, but if he is found to be a traitor, he will die.”King Solomon sent men to bring him down from the altar. He came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon told him,“ Go home.”When David was close to death, he told Solomon his son:“ I am about to die. Be strong and become a man!Do the job the LORD your God has assigned you by following his instructions and obeying his rules, commandments, regulations, and laws as written in the law of Moses. Then you will succeed in all you do and seek to accomplish,and the LORD will fulfill his promise to me,‘ If your descendants watch their step and live faithfully in my presence with all their heart and being, then,’ he promised,‘ you will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’

“ I, the LORD, promise that a new time will certainly come when I will raise up for them a righteous branch, a descendant of David. He will rule over them with wisdom and understanding and will do what is just and right in the land.Under his rule Judah will enjoy safety and Israel will live in security. This is the name he will go by:‘ The LORD has provided us with justice.’

For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit sparingly.
