1 Chronicles 29:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

Solomon Becomes King

²¹ The next day the people offered sacrifices and burnt offerings to the Lord—1000 bulls, 1000 rams, 1000 lambs, and the drink offerings that go with them. They offered these and many other sacrifices to the Lord for all the Israelites. ²² That day the people were very happy as they ate and drank there together with the Lord.

And they made David’s son Solomon king the second time.^[a] They anointed Solomon to be king, and they anointed Zadok to be priest. They did this in the place where the Lord was.

²³ Then Solomon sat on the Lord’s throne as king. Solomon took his father’s place. He was very successful. All the Israelites obeyed him.
