22. So they ate and drank that day before the Lord with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king a second time, and they anointed him as ruler for the Lord and Zadok as priest.
23. Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
24. All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David pledged allegiance to King Solomon.
25. The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26. Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27. The period which he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years and in Jerusalem thirty-three years.
28. Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.
29. Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the chronicles of Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet and in the chronicles of Gad the seer,
30. with all his reign, his power, and the circumstances which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the lands.
