Then
David said to
all the
assembly,
"Now bless the
LORD your
God." And
all the
assembly blessed the
LORD, the
God of their
fathers, and
bowed low and
did homage to the
LORD and to the
king.

On the
next day they
made sacrifices to the
LORD and
offered burnt offerings to the
LORD,
1,000 bulls,
1,000 rams and
1,000 lambs, with their
drink offerings and
sacrifices in
abundance for
all Israel.

So they
ate and
drank that
day before the
LORD with
great gladness. And they
made Solomon the
son of
David king a
second time, and they
anointed him as
ruler for the
LORD and
Zadok as
priest.

Then
Solomon sat on the
throne of the
LORD as
king instead of
David his
father; and he
prospered, and
all Israel obeyed him.

All the

King David pledged allegiance * to
King Solomon.

The

sight of
all Israel, and
bestowed on him
royal majesty which had not
been on
any king before him in
Israel.

Now
David the
