26 Yesse’s (Jesse’s) son David was the king who ruled all Israel 27 and he ruled for forty years: from Hevron city for seven years, and then thirty-three years from Yerushalem.[ref] 28 He lived a long life with riches and splendour, and died at a good old age. Then his son Shelomoh (Solomon) replaced him as king. 29 The records of everything done by King David, from the beginning to his end, were written by the prophets Shemuel (Samuel), Natan (Nathan), and Gad. 30 They wrote about his powerful rule, and all the things that happened to him and to the Israeli people, and in the kingdoms of other countries while he was ruling Israel.
