Context of 1 Chronicles 29:24

22That day they ate and drank as they joyfully celebrated in front of the Lord. For the second time they made David’s son Solomon king. On the Lord’s behalf they anointed Solomon to be leader and Zadok to be the priest. 23Then Solomon sat on the Lord’s throne as king in place of his father David. Solomon was successful and all Israel obeyed him. All the leaders and soldiers and all of King David’s sons pledged their loyalty to King Solomon. 25The Lord made Solomon extremely powerful, as all Israel could see. The people of Israel gave him royal honor like no king of Israel before him ever had. 26David, son of Jesse, had ruled all Israel.
