Context of 1 Chronicles 29:23

21The next day, they sacrificed sacrifices to Adonai and offered burnt offerings to Adonai; 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000 lambs, along with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 22So they ate and drank before Adonai on that day with great joy. Then they designated Solomon the son of David as king a second time, anointing him before Adonai as ruler and Zadok as kohen. So Solomon sat on the throne of Adonai as king instead of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him. 24All the officials and mighty men, as well as all the sons of King David, pledged their hand in support of King Solomon. 25Adonai highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had never been on any king before him in Israel.
