22 They ate and drank with great joy before the Lord that day and made David’s son Solomon the king. They anointed him in the Lord’s presence as prince, and Zadok as priest.
23 Thus Solomon sat on the Lord’s throne as king, succeeding his father David, and he prospered. All Israel obeyed him,
24 and all the commanders and warriors, as well as all of King David’s sons, submitted to King Solomon’s authority.
25 Moreover, the Lord magnified Solomon before all Israel, giving him such royal majesty as no king before him had enjoyed.
26 David, Jesse’s son, was king over all Israel.
27 He reigned over Israel for forty years: seven years in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.
28 He died at a good old age, having enjoyed a full life, wealth, and honor; and his son Solomon followed him as king.
