22 They ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the Lord that day. Then they acknowledged Solomon son of David as king a second time, anointing him before the Lord to be ruler and Zadok to be priest.
23 So Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king in place of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him.
24 All the officers and warriors, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their submission to King Solomon.
25 The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal splendor such as no king over Israel ever had before.
26 David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.
27 He ruled over Israel forty years—seven in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.
28 He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king.
