Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24
All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, submitted themselves to King Solomon.
25
So the Lord exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26
Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27
And the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.
28
So he died in a good old age, full of days and riches and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.
29
Now the acts of King David, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
30
with all his reign and his might, and the events that happened to him, to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the lands.
