Solomon was successful, and everyone in Israel obeyed him. 24 Every official and every soldier, as well as all of David's other sons, were loyal to him. 25 The Lord made Solomon a great king, and the whole nation was amazed at how famous he was. In fact, no other king of Israel was as great as Solomon. 26 David the son of Jesse was king of Israel 27 for forty years. He ruled from Hebron for seven years and from Jerusalem for thirty-three years. 28 David was rich and respected and lived to be an old man. Then he died, and his son Solomon became king. 29 Everything David did while he was king is included in the history written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad. 30 They wrote about his powerful rule and about the things that happened not only to him, but also to Israel and the other nations.
