1 Chronicles 29:20

18 O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You.

19 And ^agive my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the¹ temple for which ^bI have made provision.”

20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the Lord your God.” So all the assembly blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the Lord and the king.

Solomon Anointed King

21 And they made sacrifices to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the next day: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and ^asacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

22 So they ate and drank before the Lord with great gladness on that day. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and ^aanointed him before the Lord to be the leader, and Zadok to be priest.
