The First Book of the KINGS, commonly called The Third Book of the KINGS. 1 Abishag cherishes David in his extreme age. 5 Adonijah, David's darling, usurps the kingdom. 11 By the council of Nathan, 15 Bath-sheba moves the king, 22 and Nathan seconds her. 28 David renews his oath to Bath-sheba. 32 Solomon, by David's appointment, being anointed king by Zadok and Nathan, the people triumph. 41 Jonathan bringing the news, Adonijah's guests fly. 50 Adonijah, flying to the horns of the altar, upon his good behaviour, is dismissed by Solomon. old.David was probably now about sixty-nine years of age. He was thirty years old when he began to reign, reigned forty, and died in his seventieth year; and the transactions mentioned here are supposed to have taken place about a year before his death. Sixty-nine was not an advanced age; but he had been exhausted with various fatigues, and especially family afflictions, so that he was much older in constitution than in years. 2Sa 5:4; 1Ch 23:1; 29:27,28; Ps 90:10and stricken in years.

he died.David at his death had every thing that his heart could wish: "he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour;" having gained more renown than any crowned head ever did. "David," says Dr. Delaney, "was a true believer, a zealous adorer of God, teacher of His law and worship, and inspirer of His praise; a glorious example, a perpetual and inexhaustible fountain of true piety; a consummate and unrivalled hero; a skilful and successful captain; a steady patriot; a wise ruler; a faithful, generous, and magnanimous friend; and what is yet rarer, a no less generous and magnanimous enemy; a true penitent, a divine musician, a sublime poet, and an inspired prophet. By birth a peasant, by merit a prince! In youth a hero, in manhood a monarch, and in age a saint." a good old age.Ge 15:15; 25:8; Job 5:26; Pr 16:31; Ac 13:36full of days.23:1; Ge 35:29; Job 5:26Job 5:26
