1 Chronicles 29:26-30

New International Reader's Version

David Dies

²⁶ David was king over the whole nation of Israel. He was the son of Jesse. ²⁷ He ruled over Israel for 40 years. He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for 33 years in Jerusalem. ²⁸ He died when he was very old. He had enjoyed a long life. He had enjoyed wealth and honor. David’s son Solomon became the next king after him.

²⁹ The events of King David’s rule from beginning to end are written down. They are written in the records of Samuel, Nathan and Gad, the prophets. ³⁰ The records tell all about David’s rule and power. They tell about what happened concerning him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands.
