23. 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 princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.
25. The Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and gave to him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26. Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27. The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28. He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.
