The death of David

26 Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel. 27 He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron city and 33 years in Jerusalem. 28 He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king of Israel.

29 A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad. 30 They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms while he was ruling Israel.
