22 And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day with great gladness.

And they made Solomon the son of David king ⁿthe second time, and they ^oanointed him as prince for the Lord, and ^pZadok as priest.

23 ^qThen Solomon sat on the ^rthrone of the Lord as king in place of David his father. And he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon. 25 And the Lord made Solomon very ^sgreat in the sight of all Israel and ^tbestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
