And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered King David with amen, affirming David's command and decision that Solomon should succeed him as king. His amen was assent to David's word appointing Solomon to the throne. By adding that the Lord God of his lord the king say so too, he prayed and asked God to confirm David's word.
This response belongs to the crisis in which Adonijah's rebellion was thwarted, David yielded the throne to Solomon, and Solomon was anointed and proclaimed king. The blessing continuing after this answer asks God to be with Solomon as He had been with David and to make Solomon's throne greater than David's throne.
