‏ 1 Chronicles 28:4

v. 4: David explained how both he and Solomon were chosen by God to be kings. Their right to rule came directly from God, not because they were the oldest sons (1 Chronicles 28:4-5 a). Judah was chosen over his older brothers (Genesis 49:10 b), and David was chosen as the youngest son of Jesse. God chooses whom He pleases, sometimes preferring the youngest or least expected, so that His wisdom and will are clear.
