A:The Bible says that both King David and King Solomon ruled for exactly 40 years, just as the Hebrews wandered for exactly forty years and similar periods are reported for each of the major judges. These periods should not be regarded even as approximations, but as numbers that assisted in oral transmission long before the traditions were put down in writing.

Another Answer:

The 2nd King of Israel, David, ruled from 1010-970 BC while the 3rd King of Israel, Solomon, ruled from 970-930 BC according to several scholars. Forty years each.

An active archaeological dig in Israel today has found evidence of King David's reign dated in this timeframe.

Who was wise King Solomon's father?

-----------------------There are two biblical narratives that tell of Solomon's succession to David. The first narrative, in 1 Kings, is somewhat muddled and ends with David, on his deathbed choosing Solomon to be his successor. The second narrative is in 1 Chronicles, which was a later rewrite of the Book of Kings and other books in the Deuteronomic history. Possibly recognising the problems inherent in the account in 1 Kings, the Chronicler simply has David, while still healthy and active, announce that God has chosen Solomon as his heir.Since Solomon had older brothers, it was not anticipated in the 1 Kings story that Solomon would ever be king, until David was near death, so there was no reason for David to prepare him to be king. The story in 1 Chronicles is more flexible, since David had some time, perhaps years, to prepare Solomon to be king, before his own death.
