David Dies

26 David was king over the whole nation of Israel. He was the son of Jesse.

27 He ruled over Israel for 40 years. He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for 33 years in Jerusalem.

28 He died when he was very old. He had enjoyed a long life. He had enjoyed wealth and honor. His son Solomon became the next king after him.
