May the Lord give you discretion and understanding when he puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the Lord gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.

Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

But about the Son he says,“ Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.

And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your commands, statutes and decrees and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided.”

Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the sacred tent and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpet and all the people shouted,“ Long live King Solomon!”And all the people went up after him, playing pipes and rejoicing greatly, so that the ground shook with the sound.Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they were finishing their feast. On hearing the sound of the trumpet, Joab asked,“ What’s the meaning of all the noise in the city?”Even as he was speaking, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said,“ Come in. A worthy man like you must be bringing good news.”“ Not at all!” Jonathan answered.“ Our lord King David has made Solomon king.The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, and they have put him on the king’s mule,and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon. From there they have gone up cheering, and the city resounds with it. That’s the noise you hear.Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.Also, the royal officials have come to congratulate our lord King David, saying,‘ May your God make Solomon’s name more famous than yours and his throne greater than yours!’ And the king bowed in worship on his bedand said,‘ Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has allowed my eyes to see a successor on my throne today.’”At this, all Adonijah’s guests rose in alarm and dispersed.But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.Then Solomon was told,“ Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon and is clinging to the horns of the altar. He says,‘ Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.’”Solomon replied,“ If he shows himself to be worthy, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground; but if evil is found in him, he will die.”Then King Solomon sent men, and they brought him down from the altar. And Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said,“ Go to your home.”When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son.“ I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said.“ So be strong, act like a man,and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you goand that the Lord may keep his promise to me:‘ If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’

“ The days are coming,” declares the Lord,“ when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.

For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
