1 Chronicles 29:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ So Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. He ruled as king in place of his father David. Things went well with him. All the people of Israel obeyed him. ²⁴ All the officers and warriors promised to be completely faithful to King Solomon. So did all of King David’s sons.

²⁵ The Lord greatly honored Solomon in the sight of all the people. He gave him royal majesty. Solomon was given more glory than any king over Israel ever had before.
