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.
