1 Chronicles 29:22-30

22They ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the Lord that day. Then they acknowledged Solomon son of David as king a second time, anointing him before the Lord to be ruler and Zadok to be priest.

23So Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king in place of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him.

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

25The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal splendor such as no king over Israel ever had before.

26David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.

27He ruled over Israel forty years—seven in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.

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

29As for the events of King David’s reign, from beginning to end, they are written in the records of Samuel the seer, the records of Nathan the prophet and the records of Gad the seer,

30together with the details of his reign and power, and the circumstances that surrounded him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands.
