1 Chronicles 29:20-28 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

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

21. They sacrificed sacrifices to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings to the Lord, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,

22. and ate and drank before the Lord on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before the Lord to be prince, 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 princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

25. The Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and gave to him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

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

27. 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. He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.
