Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over the whole nation of Israel for 40 years.
Then he joined the members of his family who had already died. He was buried in the city of his father David. Solomon’s son Rehoboam became the next king after him.
He had ruled over Israel for 40 years. He ruled for seven years in Hebron. Then he ruled for 33 years in Jerusalem.
These are the words of the Teacher. He was the son of David. He was also the king in Jerusalem.
