1 Chronicles 29:24-30

24 All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David pledged allegiance * to King Solomon.

25 ¹The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and ²bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.

26 Now ³David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

27 ⁴The 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 ⁵a ripe old age, ⁶full 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 ⁷ Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of ⁸ Nathan the prophet and in the chronicles of ⁹ 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.
