Shortly before King David passed, he chose his son Solomon to succeed after him and had the prophet Nathan parade him through the city on his mule announcing his succession upon David's death.
1 Kings 2:10-12New International Version (NIV)10 Then David rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. 11 He had reigned forty years over Israel-seven years in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem. 12 So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established.

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.

What is the summary of king Solomon bible story?
The biblical King Solomon was known for his wisdom, his wealth and his writings. He became ruler in approximately 967 B.C.E. and his kingdom extended from the Euphrates River in the north to Egypt in the south. His crowning achievement was the building of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Almost all knowledge of him is derived from the biblical books of Kings I and Chronicles II. Solomon was the son of King David and Bathsheba. Solomon was not the oldest son of David, but David promised Bathsheba that Solomon would be the next king. When David's elder son Adonijah declared himself king, David ordered his servants to bring Solomon to the Gihon spring where the priest anointed him while David was still alive. Solomon inherited a considerable empire from his father.

Was Jesus descended from Nathan or Solomon?
In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus was a descendant of Solomon, son of David, through the male line from his father Joseph.In Luke's Gospel, Jesus was a descendant of Nathan, also a son of David, through the male line from his father Joseph.Looking carefully at the two different accounts, we can see that Jesus was also the descendant of the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, but Matthew says that Zorobabel's grandfather was Jechonias, while Luke says that Zorobabel's grandfather was Neri. In other words, neither author knew. They were both writing Christian midrash.
Why could Adonijah not be king?
1 Kings chapter 1 says that as King David lay on his deathbed, his son Adonijah attempted a coup, declaring that he would be king as soon as his father passed away. Naturally, David was incensed and preempted this attempt by declaring the younger son, Solomon, to be his successor. The Book of Chronicles, although apparently based on the earlier account, omits this passage and has Solomon anointed as successor in entirely different circumstances. While still hale and hearty, David announced to the multitude that God had selected Solomon to be his successor. There is no mention of Adonijah and the only reason that he and the other more senior brothers were passed over was David's announcement that the choice had been God's.
Was King Solomon before King Hezekiah?
Yes, King Solomon had ruled Judah and Israel (The First Book of Kings, chapter one). In contrast, King Hezekiah ruled the Kingdom of Judah many centuries later, after Israel had broken away from the rule of Jerusalem. (The Second Book of Kings, chapter eighteen).
