20 Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." And 1all the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and 2bowed low and did homage to the LORD and to the king.

Sacrifices

21 On the next day 3they 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.

Solomon Again Made King

22 And they made Solomon the son of David king 4a second time, and they 5anointed him as ruler for the LORD and Zadok as priest.
23 Then 6Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
24 All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David pledged allegiance * to King Solomon.
25 7The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and 8bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26 Now 9David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27 10The period which he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years and in Jerusalem thirty-three * years.

Death of David

28 Then he died in 11a ripe old age, 12full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.
29 "Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the chronicles of 13 Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of 14 Nathan the prophet and in the chronicles of 15 Gad the seer,
30 with all his reign, his power, and the circumstances which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the lands.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 29

This chapter relates how largely and liberally David, besides what he had before done, and his princes, offered towards defraying the expenses of building the temple, 1Ch 29:1-8 and the joy and thankfulness that he and his people expressed on that account, attended with prayers for Solomon, and offering sacrifices unto the Lord, 1Ch 29:9-21 and the chapter is closed, and so the book, with an account of the second unction of Solomon, the placing him on the throne, and the submission of all ranks of men unto him, and of the death of David, 1Ch 29:22-30.
