1 Chronicles 29:26-30

The Death of King David

26 And David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

27 And the days that he reigned over Israel [were] forty years. In Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.

28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, wealth, and honor. And Solomon his son reigned in his place.

29 Now the words of King David, [from] the first to the last, see, they are written among the words of Samuel the seer, and among the words of Nathan the prophet, and among the words of Gad the seer,

30 with all [the accounts of] his kingdom, his power, and the times that came upon him, and upon Israel, and upon all the kingdoms of the earth.
