1 Chronicles 29:25

Solomon

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 officials and mighty men, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.

The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.

26 David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.

27 The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
