καὶ Δαυιδ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Σαλωμων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ισραηλ
And David was old and full of days, and he made Solomon his son king in his place over Israel.
The succession notice is brief because the chapter's true focus lies elsewhere. David's nearing death becomes the setting for a final act of cultic ordering.
