23. And Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24. And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king.
25. And Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him royal majesty such as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26. Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27. And 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. And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour; and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
29. And the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer;
30. with all his reign and his might, and the times that passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
