²⁶David son of Jesse was king over all Israel. ²⁷The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years — seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. ²⁸He died at a ripe old age, full of years, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigned in his place. ²⁹Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are indeed written in the Chronicles of Samuel the Seer, the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer, ³⁰together with all the details of his reign, his might, and the circumstances that came upon him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the lands.
