1 Chronicles 29:23

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.

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 leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, ^asubmitted themselves to King Solomon.

25 So the Lord exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and ^abestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

The Close of David’s Reign

26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

27 ^aAnd the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; ^bseven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.
