After David had lived long and was old, he made his son Solomon the new king of Israel.
He breathed his last breath and died at an old age, after a long and satisfying life.
So Isaac breathed his last breath and died when he was very old, and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
At this time King David was very old, and although his servants covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.
Did you do this? Since we are your servants, why didn’t you tell us who should be king after you?”
I will do today what I have promised you in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. I promised that your son Solomon would be king after me and rule on my throne in my place.”
Solomon became king after David, his father, and he was in firm control of his kingdom.
David gathered all the leaders of Israel, along with the priests and Levites.
The Lord has given me many sons, and from those sons he has chosen Solomon to be the new king of Israel. Israel is the Lord’s kingdom.
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.
You will come to the grave with all your strength, like bundles of grain gathered at the right time.
