The next day the people sacrificed to the LORD. They offered burnt offerings to him of a thousand bulls, a thousand male sheep, and a thousand male lambs. They also brought drink offerings. Many sacrifices were made for all the people of Israel. That day the people ate and drank with much joy, and the LORD was with them. And they made David’s son Solomon king for the second time. They poured olive oil on Solomon to appoint him king in the presence of the LORD. And they poured oil on Zadok to appoint him as priest. Then Solomon sat on the LORD’s throne as king and took his father David’s place. Solomon was very successful, and all the people of Israel obeyed him. All the leaders and soldiers and King David’s sons accepted Solomon as king and promised to obey him. The LORD made Solomon great before all the Israelites and gave Solomon much honor. No king of Israel before Solomon had such honor. David son of Jesse was king over all Israel. He had ruled over Israel forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. David died when he was old. He had lived a good, long life and had received many riches and honors. His son Solomon became king after him. Everything David did as king, from beginning to end, is recorded in the records of Samuel the seer, the records of Nathan the prophet, and the records of Gad the seer. Those writings tell what David did as king of Israel. They tell about his power and what happened to him and to Israel and to all the kingdoms around them.
