21
And they offered sacrifices to the LORD, and on the next day offered burnt offerings to the LORD, 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, and 1,000 lambs, with their
1drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22
And they ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king
2the second time, and they
3anointed him as prince for the LORD, and
4Zadok as priest.
23
5Then Solomon sat on the
6throne of the LORD as king in place of David his father. And he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
24
All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.
25
And the LORD made Solomon very
7great in the sight of all Israel and
8bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
The Death of David
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27
The
9time that he reigned over Israel was forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28
Then he died
10at a good age,
11full of days, riches, and honor. And Solomon his son reigned in his place.
29
Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the Chronicles
12of Samuel the seer, and in the Chronicles of
13Nathan the prophet, and in the Chronicles of
14Gad the seer,
30
with accounts of all his rule and his might and of the circumstances
15that came upon him and upon Israel and upon all the kingdoms of the countries.
