1David told the crowd:[#1 Ch 22.5.]
6After David finished speaking, the family leaders, the tribal leaders, the army commanders, and the government officials voluntarily gave gifts
7for the temple. These gifts included more than 170 tons of gold, over 340 tons of silver, 620 tons of bronze, and more than 3,400 tons of iron.
8Everyone who owned precious stones also donated them to the temple treasury, where Jehiel from the Levite clan of Gershon guarded them.
9David and the people were very happy that so much had been given to the Lord , and they all celebrated.
10Then, in front of everyone, David sang praises to the Lord :
20David then said to the people, “Now it's your turn to praise the Lord , the God your ancestors worshiped!” So everyone praised the Lord , and they bowed down to honor him and David their king.
21The next day, the Israelites slaughtered 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, and 1,000 lambs, and they offered them as sacrifices to please the Lord , along with offerings of wine.[#29.21 See the note at 16.1.]
22The people were very happy, and they ate and drank there at the Lord 's altar.
That same day, Solomon was again crowned king. The people celebrated and poured olive oil on Solomon's head to show that he would be their next king. They also poured oil on Zadok's head to show that he was their priest.
23So Solomon became king after David his father. Solomon was successful, and everyone in Israel obeyed him.[#1 K 2.12.]
24Every official and every soldier, as well as all of David's other sons, were loyal to him.
25The 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.
26David the son of Jesse was king of Israel
27for 40 years. He ruled from Hebron for 7 years and from Jerusalem for 33 years.[#2 S 5.4,5; 1 Ch 3.1-4.]
28David was rich and respected and lived to be an old man. Then he died, and his son Solomon became king.
29Everything David did while he was king is included in the history written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
30They wrote about his powerful rule and about the things that happened not only to him, but also to Israel and the other nations.
