1 Chronicles 29:22-30

22They feasted and drank in the Lord’s presence with great joy that day. And again they crowned David’s son Solomon as their new king. They anointed him before the Lord as their leader, and they anointed Zadok as priest.

23So Solomon took the throne of the Lord in place of his father, David, and he succeeded in everything, and all Israel obeyed him.

24All the officials, the warriors, and the sons of King David pledged their loyalty to King Solomon.

25And the Lord exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and he gave Solomon greater royal splendor than any king in Israel before him.

26So David son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

27He reigned over Israel for forty years, seven of them in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.

28He died at a ripe old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth, and honor. Then his son Solomon ruled in his place.

29All the events of King David’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in The Record of Samuel the Seer, The Record of Nathan the Prophet, and The Record of Gad the Seer.

30These accounts include the mighty deeds of his reign and everything that happened to him and to Israel and to all the surrounding kingdoms.
