Solomon: Succeeds David to the Throne of Israel

Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know it? …

So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was firmly established.

When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.

Now David summoned all the leaders of Israel to Jerusalem: the leaders of the tribes, the leaders of the divisions in the king’s service, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and cattle of the king and his sons, along with the court officials and mighty men—every mighty man of valor.

I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
