Default Keep the first cell when summing a column?

How do I keep the first cell when copying the formula to successive cells?
For example: I want to sum all the values in column B starting with cell B4
through and including B12 and I want the cell B4 to stay the same in all
succeeding formulas. When I paste the formula into successive cells it
changes the formula to =SUM(B5:B12). Thank you in advance for any help.

Try
=sum($B$4:$B12)
