2 Samuel chapter 20 speaks of an uprising against David, then the remainder of 2 Samuel has a group of miscellaneous chapters out of context, clearly later insertions. 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. 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.
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. This account appears to say that Solomon reigned before David died, but does not say for how long.
