1 Chronicles 29:22-30 ▼

22 and they ate and drank in the LORD's presence with great joy. They crowned David's son Solomon king a second time and anointed him to serve as Commander-in-Chief to the LORD and Zadok to serve as priest.

23 So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in the place of his father David. He prospered, and all of Israel obeyed him.

24 All of the officials, all of the valiant soldiers, and all of King David's sons submitted to King Solomon's control,

25 and the LORD exalted Solomon magnificently in the sight of all Israel, bestowing upon him royal majesty such as had not been given to any king in Israel before him.

26 Jesse's son David reigned as king over all of Israel,

27 serving as king over Israel for 40 years. He reigned for seven years in Hebron and for 33 in Jerusalem.

28 He died at a good old age, having lived a full life, replete with riches and honor, and with his son Solomon reigning in his place.

29 The activities of David the king are recorded in the History of Samuel the Seer, in the History of Nathan the Prophet, and in the History of Gad the Seer,

30 including details regarding his reign, his power, the circumstances that attended his life, Israel, and all of the kingdoms of the countries that surrounded him.
