After a 40-year reign David died and was buried in the City of David. . (1 Kings 2:10, 11)
King Solomon was believed to have reigned around 970-931 BC and died at around the age of 60. According to biblical accounts, his death is not specifically mentioned, but some traditions suggest that he died of natural causes.
King Solomon died in Jerusalem, and was buried in the City of David, which is located on a narrow ridge south of the present-day Old City. He died at approximately 80 years of age, of natural causes.
The Second Book of Samuel chapter 20 speaks of another uprising against David, then the remainder of 2 Samuel has a group of miscellaneous chapters out of context, clearly later insertions. These chapters include a famine, killing of giants, a psalm, the purported last words of David and then a census undertaken by David. Removing chapters 21 to 24 leaves a coherent story line, leading into chapter 1 of 1 Kings, where David was old and they covered him with clothes in his bed. The servants thought that by having a beautiful virgin brought to David, they would revive his physical prowess, but David was unable to know her.
Then Adonijah attempted a coup, forcing David's hand in anointing Solomon as his successor. Overall, the narrative is sufficiently staged as to justify looking at the literary role of each segment. Within the well constructed sequence, the literary purpose of Absalom's earlier attempt was to remove the two most likely successors to the kingdom. The deathbed sequence provided a sense of urgency in appointing a successor, then Adonijah's attempted coup gave David a reason and context to move quickly and anoint Solomon over his other more senior brothers. In this account, David dies of old age. .
The Book of Chronicles omits the attempted coups and the Sheba uprising. More particularly, while still in apparent good health and not yet bed-ridden, David announced to the people of Israel that God had chosen Solomon to be his heir. In the face of this public declaration, Adonijah could hardly have attempted to pre-empt the outcome by having himself declared king. This account appears to say that Solomon reigned before David died, but does not say for how long. As with 1 Kings, David died of old age, but the circumstances of his death are very different.
After ensuring a proper transition of leadership, King David died peacefully on his bed in the palace. This was a slap across the face to all his enemies, who would have seen any form of violent death as a proof of God's repudiation of David. See also the Related Links.
