So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada,.... The three men that David sent for on this occasion:
and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; not the sanhedrim, as Ben Gersom, but David's guards, over whom Benaiah was: these
went down; from Jerusalem;
and caused Solomon to ride upon King David's mule; as he had ordered:
and brought him to Gihon; or Siloah, as the Targum; hence the Jews say e, they do not anoint a king but at a fountain; but this is the only instance of it.
e T. Bab. Ceritot, fol. 5. 2.
