Tosefta su I Re 1:34

וּמָשַׁ֣ח אֹת֣וֹ שָׁ֠ם צָד֨וֹק הַכֹּהֵ֜ן וְנָתָ֧ן הַנָּבִ֛יא לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וּתְקַעְתֶּם֙ בַּשּׁוֹפָ֔ר וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֕ם יְחִ֖י הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃

E lascia che il sacerdote Zadok e il profeta Nathan lo ungano là sopra Israele; e soffiate con il corno e dite: Lunga vita al re Salomone.

Tosefta Horayot

A Sage takes precedence over the King of Israel. [If] a Sage dies, we have no one like him, but if the King of Israel dies, all of Israel is fit for kingship. The King takes precedence over the High Priest, as it is said (I Kings 1:33), "And the King (i.e., King David) said to them (i.e., the Zadok the High Priest, among others), 'Take with you the servants of your lord (referring to himself), and have Solomon my son ride on my mule." The High Priest has precedence over a prophet, as it is said (I Kings 1:34), "And let Zadok the [High] Priest and Nathan the Prophet anoint him (i.e., Solomon) there" -- Zadok was mentioned before Nathan. And it says (Zech. 3:8), "Hear now, Yehoshua the High Priest, you and your fellows (i.e., fellow priests) that sit before you. [For these are men of portent (mofet), that I will bring forth a shoot from My servant]." Can these be ordinary men? Thus, the Torah states that "these are men of portent," and there is no "portent" but a prophet, as it is said (Deut. 13:2, referring to a prophet): "And if he gave to you a sign or a portent (mofet)."
