Context of 1 Chronicles 29:24

22They ate a big feast to give honour to the Lord and they were very happy. Then they anointed David's son Solomon to be the next king, with the Lord's blessing. That was the second time that they had chosen him as their king. They also anointed Zadok to be priest. 23So Solomon sat on the Lord's throne as king, in his father David's place. Everything went well for him as king. All the people in Israel obeyed him. All King David's officers, his brave soldiers and all of his sons promised to serve King Solomon faithfully. 25The Lord caused all the people in Israel to respect Solomon as a great king. They gave him much honour, more than any king that had ruled Israel before him. 26Jesse's son David had ruled over all Israel as king.
