Now David was old and full of days, and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor. And Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
And of all my sons (for LORD has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of LORD over Israel.
Now king David was old and stricken in years, and they covered him with clothes, but he did not get warm.
truly as I swore to thee by LORD, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead. Truly so I will do this day.
Thou shall come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.
And Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
And Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years], and was gathered to his people.
And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was established greatly.
And he gathered together all the rulers of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou have not shown to thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
