Context of 1 Chronicles 29:26
24All 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. Jesse's son David had ruled over all Israel as king. 27He had ruled Israel for 40 years. He ruled for seven years in Hebron. Then he ruled for 33 years in Jerusalem. 28He was an old man when he died. During his long life, God gave him riches as well as honour. Then David's son Solomon became king instead of him.
