"So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and took him to Gihon. Then Zadok the priest took a horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. And they blew the horn, and all the people said, 'Long live King Solomon!' 1 Kings 1:38-39, NKJV. #KingsMule
As sign of royalty and wealth, kings of nations, foreign emissaries and wise men in the past traveled on animals, such as mules, donkeys, colts and camels, signifying their privileged status; oftentimes in the scriptures, it speaks of a special type of beast which was set aside only for the king.
