³⁸ So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, ^(A)and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David's mule and brought him to Gihon.

¹⁸ and ^(A)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over^[a] the ^(B)Cherethites and the Pelethites, and David's sons were priests.

⁸ But ^(A)Zadok the priest and ^(B)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and ^(C)Nathan the prophet and ^(D)Shimei and Rei and ^(E)David's mighty men were not with Adonijah.

¹⁷ and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were the ^(A)chief officials in the service of the king.

³³ And the king said to them, “Take with you ^(A)the servants of your lord and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and bring him down to ^(B)Gihon.

^26 (A)But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon he has not invited.

²⁰ Joab answered, “Far be it from me, far be it, that I should ^(A)swallow up or destroy! ²¹ That is not true. But a man of ^(B)the hill country of Ephraim, called Sheba the son of Bichri, has lifted up his hand against King David. Give up him alone, and I will withdraw from the city.” And the woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.” ²² Then the woman went to all the people ^(C)in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, ^(D)every man to his home. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

^23 (E)Now Joab was in command of all the army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

¹⁸ And ^(A)all his servants passed by him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the six hundred Gittites who had followed him from ^(B)Gath, passed on before the king.
