Then King David said: “Summon to me Zadok the kohen, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” When they came before the king,
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and David’s sons were chief ministers.
But he did not invite me, your servant, Zadok the kohen, Benaiah son of Jehoiada or your servant Solomon.
So Zadok the kohen, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down, and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.
But Zadok the kohen, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei and David’s mighty men, were not on Adonijah’s side.
