1 Chronicles 29:24-30

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.

27 The time that he reigned over Yisra'el was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hevron, and thirty-three [years] reigned he in Yerushalayim.

28 He died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Shlomo his son reigned in his place.

29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Shemu'el the seer, and in the history of Natan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,

30 with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Yisra'el, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.

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.
