Context of 1 Chronicles 29:27

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. He 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. 29The prophets Samuel, Nathan and Gad wrote history books about all the things that King David did. They wrote down everything that he did as king, from the beginning to the end.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 26-30Verses 26-30 When we read the second book of Samuel, we could scarcely have expected to behold David appear so illustrious in his closing scene. But his repentance had been as remarkable as his sin; and his conduct during his afflictions, and towards the end of his life, appears to have had a good effect on his subjects.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 26-30The Chronicler ends his account of David’s reign with a formal summary, similar to those for all the kings of Israel and Judah (for example, 1 Kings 22:41–50).
