Then David said to all the Assembly; ‘ Bless now your EVER-LIVING GOD. And all the Meeting blessed the Even-mvmc Gon of their fathers, and lowered their heads, and rever- enced to the EvER·L1v1NG, and the King. They then afterwards sacrihced

sacrifices to the Evmz-Lxvmc; and burned Burnt-oierings to the EVER- LIVLNG, with F0od·0Herings on that day ; a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their Drink-oKerings, with numerous sacrifices from all Israel. Arid ate and drank before the

the son of David, King for the second time, and consecrated him to the Evnx·x.1vmo as Lemma, and Zadok as Priest. Solomon, consequently sat on the

Throne of the Lonn as King, in place of his father David, and the Parlia- ment of Israel obeyed him, with all the Nobles, and Generals; and the sons of David placed their hands under Solomon as King. The Evan - uvmo afterwards

greatly exalted Solomon in the eyes of all Israel, and gave him honour and Majesty, such as had not been upon any King before him in Israel. Thus David,-ben··]essai reigned over all Israel. He was King over all Israel for a

period of forty years; Reigning in Hebron for seven years, and reigning in jerusalem thirty-three years. Then he died with good grey hairs,

and satiated with days, wealth and honour; and Solomon his son reigned after him. The achievements of King David

from first to last can be seen recorded in the History of Samuel, the Seer, and in the History of Nathan, the Reciter, and in the History of Gad, the Preacher, as well as all his King- ship, and Heroism, and Vicissitudes that passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the Kingdoms of the Countries. 972 26 28
