1 Chronicles 29:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 29:28

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.

1 Chronicles 29:28 In-Context

26 And (so) David, the son of Jesse, reigned upon all Israel;
27 and the days in which he reigned upon Israel were forty years; in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years.
28 And he died in [a] good eld (age), and was full of days, and riches, and glory; and Solomon, his son, reigned for him.
29 Forsooth the former and the last deeds of king David (And the first and the last deeds of King David), be written in the book of Samuel, the prophet, and in the book of Nathan, the prophet, and in the book of Gad, the prophet;
30 and of all his realm, and strength, and times, that passed under him, either in Israel, either in all realms of lands. (yea, all about his kingdom, and power, and the times through which he, and Israel, and all the kingdoms of the lands, had passed.)
