Context of 1 Chronicles 29:24

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. 23So Solomon sat on the throne of Adonai as king instead of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him. All 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. 26Now David son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
