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.
