1 Chronicles 29:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 29:28

And he died in a good old age
Being seventy years of age:

full of days, riches, and honour;
had as much of either of them as he could wish for; and having enough, he sought after, and was taken to the possession of, eternal life, durable riches, and honours, and glory, that fade not away:

and Solomon his son reigned in his stead;
in full power and authority.

1 Chronicles 29:28 In-Context

26 Thus David son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27 The period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28 He died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and his son Solomon succeeded him.
29 Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the records of the seer Samuel, and in the records of the prophet Nathan, and in the records of the seer Gad,
30 with accounts of all his rule and his might and of the events that befell him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the earth.
