"So they (people from the Ten Tribes) strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, for three years; for they walked three years in the ways of David and Solomon" (2 Chronicles 11:17).
-----------------------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.
King David predicted that if his son Solomon would keep the ways of God, God would see to it that Solomon's descendants would always reign (1 Kings 2:3-4). See also the Related Links.Link: More about King DavidLink: More about King Solomon

To build the First Temple. Instead, God said that David's son, Solomon, would build it. King David fought the wars of the Lord, defeating the enemies of the Israelites round about. Though this is praiseworthy, it was not the same as the function of the Temple, which was to be a place of peace.

----------------------- The Books of Kings are believed to have been written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah, during the seventh century BCE, and with his authorisation. They present the legendary ancestors of King Josiah in a glorious light, with David slaying the mighty Goliath and Solomon as the wisest king there ever was. The two Books of Chronicles provide a history that more or less parallels the Deuteronomic history, but presents the priestly point of view. It covers Kings David and Solomon, but here the priests and prophets are more important than in the earlier accounts. Some of the more improbable passages in the Deuteronomic History were altered or omitted, as were some references to the polytheistic past. The story of David slaying Goliath was entirely omitted. The various attempted coups against David were omitted, and the succession of Solomon was attributed to God rather than to political necessity.
