Verse 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.

Be the first to react on this!
