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.
