And Solomon the son of David was established over his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and increased him exceedingly.

And Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was established greatly.

And Solomon said, You have dealt very mercifully with Your servant David my father according as he walked before You in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You, and You have kept for him this great mercy, to set his son upon his throne, as [it is] this day.

And now, O Lord my God, You have appointed Your servant in the place of David my father; and I am a little child, and know not my going out and my coming in.

for we are strangers before You, and sojourners, as all our fathers [were]; our days upon the earth [are] as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and was highly honored; and all Israel obeyed him.

A generation goes, and a generation comes; but the earth abides forever.

And I hated all of my labor which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

And who knows whether he will be wise, or a fool? And whether he will have power over all my labor in which I labored, and in which I grew wise under the sun? This is also vanity.

And it shall come to pass when your days shall be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your loins, and I will establish his kingdom.

And of all my sons, (for the Lord has given me many sons) He has chosen Solomon my son, to set him on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
