When David was old and full of years, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.
Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.
Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
When King David was very old, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him.
Is this something my lord the king has done without letting his servants know who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
I will surely carry out this very day what I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel: Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place.”
So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.
He also gathered together all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
Of all my sons—and the Lord has given me many—he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king.
You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season.
