1 Chronicles 29:22-30

22They held a feast before the Lord that day and celebrated. Then they designated Solomon, David’s son, as king a second time; before the Lord they anointed him as ruler and Zadok as priest.

23Solomon sat on the Lord’s throne as king in place of his father David; he was successful and all Israel was loyal to him.

24All the officers and warriors, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.

25The Lord greatly magnified Solomon before all Israel and bestowed on him greater majesty than any king of Israel before him.

26David son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

27He reigned over Israel forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years and in Jerusalem thirty-three years.

28He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth, and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him.

29King David’s accomplishments, from start to finish, are recorded in the Annals of Samuel the prophet, the Annals of Nathan the prophet, and the Annals of Gad the prophet.

30Recorded there are all the facts about his reign and accomplishments, and an account of the events that involved him, Israel, and all the neighboring kingdoms.
