Answer: David

David was a young shepherd boy and a musician, the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse of Bethlehem. God chose him to be Israel's next king and he was anointed as such by Samuel.

Answer: Solomon

At Solomon's coronation, Adonijah heard the trumpets blowing and the city in an uproar.
