David's son Solomon succeeded him as king, but the Deuteronomic History and the Book of Chronicles are in almost complete dispute on the events leading up to the succession by Solomon. In neither case does Solomon appear to have played a direct role in having himself made king.
Second Samuel set the scene for the succession, with family feuding over the succession, follwed in 1 Kings by an attempted coup by the older son Adonijah, who was in any event next in line for the succession. The senile and dying David, pressured and tricked by Somon's mother, Bath-sheba, then anointed Solomon to be his successor, to forestall any further coup attempts.
The Book of Chronicles omits the lengthy diversions about the attempted coups. More particularly, while still in apparent good health and not yet bed-ridden, David announced to the people of Israel that Yahweh had chosen Solomon to be his heir.

Which of King David's sons had the birthright?
As King Davidâ??s eldest son, Adonijah was slated to be the next King by birthright. However, David was convinced by Solomonâ??s mother, Bathsheba, and the prophet Nathan, to give the blessing and birthright of a first-born son to Solomon, effectively making Solomon King Davidâ??s successor to the throne. It was a custom to anoint the Kingâ??s successor at his time of death, which formally placed Kingship. However, while King David was still alive, Adonijah declared himself king, and this prompted David to send Solomon for formal anointing by the priest.
