Sacrifices to Yahweh
21 And on the next day (A)they [a]made sacrifices to Yahweh and offered burnt offerings to Yahweh, 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, and 1,000 lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 22 So they ate and drank that day before Yahweh with great gladness.
David’s Officials and Sons Pledge Allegiance
And they made Solomon the son of David king (B)a second time, and they (C)anointed him as ruler for Yahweh and Zadok as priest. 23 Then (D)Solomon sat on the throne of Yahweh as king instead of David his father; and he succeeded, and all Israel obeyed him. 24 And all the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David [b]pledged allegiance to King Solomon. 25 (E)And Yahweh highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and (F)granted to him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.

New English Translation
David Designates Solomon King
21 The next day they made sacrifices and offered burnt sacrifices to the Lord (1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 lambs), along with their accompanying drink offerings and many other sacrifices for all Israel. 22 They held a feast[a] before the Lord that day and celebrated.[b]
Then they designated Solomon, David’s son, as king a second time;[c] before the Lord they anointed him as ruler and Zadok as priest. 23 Solomon sat on the Lord’s throne as king in place of his father David; he was successful and all Israel was loyal to him.[d] 24 All the officers and warriors, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.[e] 25 The Lord greatly magnified Solomon before all Israel and bestowed on him greater majesty than any king of Israel before him.[f]
