Ruth 4:17 names Obed “the father of Jesse, the father of David,” and 4:22 says, “Jesse became the father of David.” 1 Samuel 16:4–13 says that Samuel came to Bethlehem and called Jesse and his sons to the sacrifice; when seven of Jesse’s sons had passed before Samuel, the youngest, who was keeping the sheep, was brought in, and the LORD said, “Arise! Anoint him, for this is he”; Samuel anointed him in the middle of his brothers, and the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. At 16:19–23 Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep,” and when the spirit from God is on Saul, David takes the harp and plays with his hand, so that Saul is refreshed and is well. 17:12–14 call David the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah whose name was Jesse, and the youngest of his eight sons; at 17:23 the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, says the same words, and David hears them; and at 17:48–51 David prevails over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine and kills him, but there is no sword in David’s hand; then David runs, stands over the Philistine, takes his sword, draws it out of its sheath, kills him, and cuts off his head with it. 1 Samuel 18:5 says that David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war; at 18:13–16 Saul makes him his captain over a thousand, and he goes out and comes in before the people, and all Israel and Judah love David; at 18:27 David goes with his men and kills two hundred men of the Philistines and brings their foreskins, and Saul gives him Michal his daughter as wife; at 19:11–18 Michal, David’s wife, lets David down through the window, and he flees and escapes and comes to Samuel at Ramah, and tells him all that Saul had done to him; and at 20:1–42 David flees from Naioth in Ramah and says to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”, hides himself in the field, and afterward he and Jonathan kiss one another and weep with one another, and he arises and departs. 1 Samuel 21:1–15 says that David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest, who gave him holy bread, and that he went to Achish the king of Gath and pretended to be insane; 22:1–2 that he escaped to Adullam’s cave, and there were with him about four hundred men; 23:1–5 that he inquired of the LORD and saved the inhabitants of Keilah; and 24:1–22 that he cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe in the cave, and swore to Saul. 1 Samuel 25:1–44 says that David went down to the wilderness of Paran and sent ten young men to greet Nabal in his name; that when Nabal answered, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse?”, David put on his sword; that Abigail, Nabal’s wife, met him and fell before him on her face, and he said to her, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!” and received from her hand that which she had brought him; and that after Nabal died she went after the messengers of David and became his wife, and he also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; 26:1–25, that when Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, David and Abishai came to the people by night, David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?”, and took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head; and 27:1–12, that he passed over with six hundred men to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath, received Ziklag from Achish, lived in the country of the Philistines a full year and four months, and with his men raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. 1 Samuel 28:1–2 has Achish say to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever”; at 29:1–11 the princes of the Philistines are angry, and Achish calls David and says to him, “Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines,” and David rises up early, he and his men, to return into the land of the Philistines; and at 30:1–26, when the Amalekites have burned Ziklag and taken David’s two wives captive, David strengthens himself in the LORD his God, inquires of the LORD, pursues with four hundred men, recovers all that the Amalekites had taken and rescues his two wives, says, “For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike,” and makes it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, and, when he comes to Ziklag, sends some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends. 2 Samuel 1:1–16 says that after the death of Saul, when David had stayed two days in Ziklag, a man came out of the camp from Saul and told David, “Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also”, and that David said to the young man who told him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”, called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!”; at 1:17–27 David laments with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son; at 2:1–4 David inquires of the LORD and goes up to Hebron, and the men of Judah come, and there they anoint David king over the house of Judah; and at 2:5–7 David sends messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead. 2 Samuel 3:2–5 names the sons born to David in Hebron, Amnon, Chileab, Absalom, Adonijah, Shephatiah and Ithream; 5:1–3 says that all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron and anointed David king over Israel; 5:4–5 that David was thirty years old when he began to reign and reigned forty years, seven years and six months in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem; and 5:7 that David took the stronghold of Zion. 2 Samuel 6:1–23 says that David went to bring up God’s ark, and, afraid of the LORD on the day Uzzah died by God’s ark, carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house; then he went and brought up God’s ark into David’s city with joy, and danced before the LORD with all his might; 7:1–29, that the LORD’s word came to Nathan, and Nathan spoke to David all these words, and David the king went in and sat before the LORD and said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?”; and 8:1–18, that David struck the Philistines and subdued them, defeated Moab, struck Hadadezer king of Zobah, put garrisons in Edom, and reigned over all Israel, executing justice and righteousness for all his people. 2 Samuel 9:1–13 says that David said to Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son, “I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake”, and that Mephibosheth ate continually at the king’s table; 10:1–19 that Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and sent them away, and that David passed over the Jordan, came to Helam, and killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen; and 11:2–27 that David lay with Bathsheba, Uriah the Hittite’s wife, wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah, and, when the mourning was past, took Uriah’s wife home to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son, and that the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. 2 Samuel 12:1–13 says that when Nathan, whom the LORD sent, told David of two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor, David said, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die”, and that after Nathan said to him, “You are the man”, and told him what the LORD says, David said, “I have sinned against the LORD”; 12:15–31 says that the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David died on the seventh day, that Bathsheba his wife bore Solomon, and that David went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it; and 13:30–39 says that when the news came that Absalom had slain all the king’s sons, the king tore his garments and lay on the earth, and that David mourned for his son every day. 2 Samuel 15:13–14 says that a messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom”, and that David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom”; 15:30 that David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered and went barefoot; and 15:31 that David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.” 2 Samuel 16:5–14 says that when Shimei the son of Gera cursed, David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Leave him alone, and let him curse”; 17:22 that David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; 17:24 that David came to Mahanaim; 18:1–5 that David sent the people out under the hand of Joab, Abishai and Ittai, and commanded, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom”; and 18:33 that the king went up to the room over the gate and wept, and said, “My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!” 2 Samuel 19:1–8 says that the king covered his face and cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”, that Joab said to him, “Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants”, and that the king arose and sat in the gate; 19:15–40 that the king returned and came to the Jordan, said to Shimei, “You will not die”, said to Mephibosheth, “I say, you and Ziba divide the land”, kissed Barzillai, and went over to Gilgal; and 20:3 that David came to his house at Jerusalem and put the ten women his concubines in custody. 2 Samuel 21:1–3 says that there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year, that David sought the face of the LORD, and that David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless the LORD’s inheritance?”; at 21:7 the king spares Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, because of the LORD’s oath that was between David and Jonathan the son of Saul; at 21:11–12 David is told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done, and goes and takes the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead; at 21:15–17 David grows faint in the war with the Philistines, Abishai the son of Zeruiah helps him, and the men of David swear to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel”; and at 22:1 David speaks to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul. 2 Samuel 23:1–7 gives “the last words of David”; at 23:13–17 David longs for water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate, but will not drink the water the three mighty men bring him, and pours it out to the LORD; and at 24:1–25 the LORD moves David, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah”, David’s heart strikes him after he has counted the people, and after the LORD sends a pestilence David goes up according to the saying of Gad, buys the threshing floor of Araunah for fifty shekels of silver, and builds an altar to the LORD there. 1 Kings 1:1–4 says that King David was old and advanced in years and couldn’t keep warm, that his servants said, “Let a young virgin be sought for my lord the king”, and that they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king, “but the king didn’t know her intimately”; 1:28–35 that King David said to Bathsheba, “most certainly as I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today”, and had Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada called, and said to them, “cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon. Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel”; 2:1–9 that when the days of David came near that he should die, he commanded Solomon his son, “You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man; and keep the instruction of the LORD your God”, and spoke to him of Joab the son of Zeruiah, of the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite and of Shimei the son of Gera; and 2:10–11 says, “David slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city. The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.” 1 Chronicles 11:1–3 says that all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh”, that all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, that David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD, and that they anointed David king over Israel, according to the LORD’s word by Samuel; and 12:38 says that all these men of war came with a perfect heart to Hebron to make David king over all Israel. 1 Chronicles 21:26–22:1 says that David built an altar to the LORD, offered burnt offerings and peace offerings and called on the LORD, and that the LORD answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering; that when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there; and that David said, “This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel”; and 22:5–6, that David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it”, prepared abundantly before his death, and called for Solomon his son and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel. 1 Chronicles 29:26–28 says, “Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem. He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.” Matthew 1:1–17 and Luke 3:23–38 also name him in the genealogy, and at Acts 13:22 Paul says that God testified, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.”

Unresolved interpretation: David, for whom Saul sent messengers to Jesse (1 Samuel 16:18–23), and Saul’s question, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” (17:55–58)
  • 1 Samuel 16:18 has one of the young men answer, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him.” At 16:19–22 Saul sends messengers to Jesse, and says, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep”; David comes to Saul and stands before him, and the text says, “He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer”; and Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.” At 16:23, when the spirit from God is on Saul, David takes the harp and plays with his hand. The Korean Revised Version says at 16:21 that Saul loved David greatly and made him his armor bearer.

      17Saul said to his servants, “Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”

      18Then one of the young men answered and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him.”

      22Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”

1 Chronicles 2:13–15 names the sons Jesse became the father of by order, from his firstborn Eliab to David the seventh. 1 Samuel 16:10 says that Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, 17:12 that he had eight sons, and 17:13–14 name the three sons who went to the battle and call David the youngest. 1 Chronicles 2:13 names Shimea the third, and 1 Samuel 17:13 names Shammah the third (the Korean 시므아 and 삼마).

2 Samuel 3:3 names David’s second son born in Hebron “Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite”, and 1 Chronicles 3:1 names the second “Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess”. Both editions write the two names differently (the Korean Revised Version 길르압 and 다니엘, WEB Chileab and Daniel). This collection records the Abigail of 1 Chronicles 3:1 in the entry of Abigail the wife of Nabal, and records Daniel in a list of names as the son of David and Abigail, linked to no entry.

At 16:19–23 Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep,” and when the spirit from God is on Saul, David takes the harp and plays with his hand, so that Saul is refreshed and is well. 17:12–14 call David the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah whose name was Jesse, and the youngest of his eight sons; at 17:23 the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, says the same words, and David hears them; and at 17:48–51 David prevails over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine and kills him, but there is no sword in David’s hand; then David runs, stands over the Philistine, takes his sword, draws it out of its sheath, kills him, and cuts off his head with it. 1 Samuel 18:5 says that David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war; at 18:13–16 Saul makes him his captain over a thousand, and he goes out and comes in before the people, and all Israel and Judah love David; at 18:27 David goes with his men and kills two hundred men of the Philistines and brings their foreskins, and Saul gives him Michal his daughter as wife; at 19:11–18 Michal, David’s wife, lets David down through the window, and he flees and escapes and comes to Samuel at Ramah, and tells him all that Saul had done to him; and at 20:1–42 David flees from Naioth in Ramah and says to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”, hides himself in the field, and afterward he and Jonathan kiss one another and weep with one another, and he arises and departs. 1 Samuel 21:1–15 says that David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest, who gave him holy bread, and that he went to Achish the king of Gath and pretended to be insane; 22:1–2 that he escaped to Adullam’s cave, and there were with him about four hundred men; 23:1–5 that he inquired of the LORD and saved the inhabitants of Keilah; and 24:1–22 that he cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe in the cave, and swore to Saul. 1 Samuel 25:1–44 says that David went down to the wilderness of Paran and sent ten young men to greet Nabal in his name; that when Nabal answered, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse?”, David put on his sword; that Abigail, Nabal’s wife, met him and fell before him on her face, and he said to her, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!” and received from her hand that which she had brought him; and that after Nabal died she went after the messengers of David and became his wife, and he also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; 26:1–25, that when Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, David and Abishai came to the people by night, David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?”, and took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head; and 27:1–12, that he passed over with six hundred men to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath, received Ziklag from Achish, lived in the country of the Philistines a full year and four months, and with his men raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. 1 Samuel 28:1–2 has Achish say to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever”; at 29:1–11 the princes of the Philistines are angry, and Achish calls David and says to him, “Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines,” and David rises up early, he and his men, to return into the land of the Philistines; and at 30:1–26, when the Amalekites have burned Ziklag and taken David’s two wives captive, David strengthens himself in the LORD his God, inquires of the LORD, pursues with four hundred men, recovers all that the Amalekites had taken and rescues his two wives, says, “For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike,” and makes it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, and, when he comes to Ziklag, sends some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends. 2 Samuel 1:1–16 says that after the death of Saul, when David had stayed two days in Ziklag, a man came out of the camp from Saul and told David, “Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also”, and that David said to the young man who told him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”, called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!”; at 1:17–27 David laments with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son; at 2:1–4 David inquires of the LORD and goes up to Hebron, and the men of Judah come, and there they anoint David king over the house of Judah; and at 2:5–7 David sends messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead. 2 Samuel 3:2–5 names the sons born to David in Hebron, Amnon, Chileab, Absalom, Adonijah, Shephatiah and Ithream; 5:1–3 says that all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron and anointed David king over Israel; 5:4–5 that David was thirty years old when he began to reign and reigned forty years, seven years and six months in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem; and 5:7 that David took the stronghold of Zion. 2 Samuel 6:1–23 says that David went to bring up God’s ark, and, afraid of the LORD on the day Uzzah died by God’s ark, carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house; then he went and brought up God’s ark into David’s city with joy, and danced before the LORD with all his might; 7:1–29, that the LORD’s word came to Nathan, and Nathan spoke to David all these words, and David the king went in and sat before the LORD and said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?”; and 8:1–18, that David struck the Philistines and subdued them, defeated Moab, struck Hadadezer king of Zobah, put garrisons in Edom, and reigned over all Israel, executing justice and righteousness for all his people. 2 Samuel 9:1–13 says that David said to Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son, “I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake”, and that Mephibosheth ate continually at the king’s table; 10:1–19 that Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and sent them away, and that David passed over the Jordan, came to Helam, and killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen; and 11:2–27 that David lay with Bathsheba, Uriah the Hittite’s wife, wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah, and, when the mourning was past, took Uriah’s wife home to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son, and that the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. 2 Samuel 12:1–13 says that when Nathan, whom the LORD sent, told David of two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor, David said, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die”, and that after Nathan said to him, “You are the man”, and told him what the LORD says, David said, “I have sinned against the LORD”; 12:15–31 says that the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David died on the seventh day, that Bathsheba his wife bore Solomon, and that David went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it; and 13:30–39 says that when the news came that Absalom had slain all the king’s sons, the king tore his garments and lay on the earth, and that David mourned for his son every day. 2 Samuel 15:13–14 says that a messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom”, and that David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom”; 15:30 that David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered and went barefoot; and 15:31 that David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.” 2 Samuel 16:5–14 says that when Shimei the son of Gera cursed, David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Leave him alone, and let him curse”; 17:22 that David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; 17:24 that David came to Mahanaim; 18:1–5 that David sent the people out under the hand of Joab, Abishai and Ittai, and commanded, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom”; and 18:33 that the king went up to the room over the gate and wept, and said, “My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!” 2 Samuel 19:1–8 says that the king covered his face and cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”, that Joab said to him, “Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants”, and that the king arose and sat in the gate; 19:15–40 that the king returned and came to the Jordan, said to Shimei, “You will not die”, said to Mephibosheth, “I say, you and Ziba divide the land”, kissed Barzillai, and went over to Gilgal; and 20:3 that David came to his house at Jerusalem and put the ten women his concubines in custody. 2 Samuel 21:1–3 says that there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year, that David sought the face of the LORD, and that David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless the LORD’s inheritance?”; at 21:7 the king spares Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, because of the LORD’s oath that was between David and Jonathan the son of Saul; at 21:11–12 David is told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done, and goes and takes the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead; at 21:15–17 David grows faint in the war with the Philistines, Abishai the son of Zeruiah helps him, and the men of David swear to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel”; and at 22:1 David speaks to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul. 2 Samuel 23:1–7 gives “the last words of David”; at 23:13–17 David longs for water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate, but will not drink the water the three mighty men bring him, and pours it out to the LORD; and at 24:1–25 the LORD moves David, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah”, David’s heart strikes him after he has counted the people, and after the LORD sends a pestilence David goes up according to the saying of Gad, buys the threshing floor of Araunah for fifty shekels of silver, and builds an altar to the LORD there. 1 Kings 1:1–4 says that King David was old and advanced in years and couldn’t keep warm, that his servants said, “Let a young virgin be sought for my lord the king”, and that they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king, “but the king didn’t know her intimately”; 1:28–35 that King David said to Bathsheba, “most certainly as I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today”, and had Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada called, and said to them, “cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon. Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel”; 2:1–9 that when the days of David came near that he should die, he commanded Solomon his son, “You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man; and keep the instruction of the LORD your God”, and spoke to him of Joab the son of Zeruiah, of the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite and of Shimei the son of Gera; and 2:10–11 says, “David slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city.

The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
