Solomon crowned; David dies
1 Kings 1–2; 1 Chronicles 28–29
When Adonijah tried to seize the throne, the aging David had Solomon anointed king; David charged Solomon to walk in God's ways and died at 70.
Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
1 Kings 1:39 (World English Bible)
Nathan and Bathsheba reminded David of his promise that Solomon would reign. Zadok the priest anointed Solomon at the Gihon spring, and the city rang with shouts so loud that Adonijah's feast broke up in fear.
David gave Solomon the plans and materials he had gathered for the temple, and died after reigning 40 years.
