1 Chronicles 29:21-25

Common English Bible

²¹ On the very next day they offered sacrifices and entirely burned offerings to the Lord—a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings—and many other sacrifices for all Israel’s sake. ²² They ate and drank with great joy before the Lord that day and made David’s son Solomon the king.^[a] They anointed him^[b] in the Lord’s presence as prince, and Zadok as priest. ²³ Thus Solomon sat on the Lord’s throne as king, succeeding his father David, and he prospered. All Israel obeyed him, ²⁴ and all the commanders and warriors, as well as all of King David’s sons, submitted to King Solomon’s authority. ²⁵ Moreover, the Lord magnified Solomon before all Israel, giving him such royal majesty as no king before him^[c] had enjoyed.
