1 Chronicles 29:24 In-Context

22 and ate and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. They made Shlomo the son of David king the second time, and anointed him to the LORD to be prince, and Tzadok to be Kohen.

23 Then Shlomo sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Yisra'el obeyed him.

24 All the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Shlomo the king.

25 The LORD magnified Shlomo exceedingly in the sight of all Yisra'el, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Yisra'el.

26 Now David the son of Yishai reigned over all Yisra'el.
