25. Then the Lord magnified Solomon over all of Israel. And he gave to him a glorious reign, of a kind such as no one has had before him, as king of Israel.
26. Now David, the son of Jesse, reigned over all of Israel.
27. And the days during which he reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28. And he died at a good old age, full of days and wealth and glory. And his son Solomon reigned in his place.
29. Now the acts of king David, from the first to the last, have been written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
30. concerning his entire reign and strength, and the times that passed under him, both in Israel and in all the kingdoms of the lands.
