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.

What happened to the nation of israel during king davids rule?
David fought many wars, throughout which Israel became increasingly prosperous and powerful. You can read about him in the Book of Samuel and the Book of Chronicles, which are in the Jewish Bible, or in Second Kings and First Chronicles, which are in the Christian bible.
How long after the death of King David did Solomon become king of Israel?
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.

In what book of the bible does King Saul appear?
Saul is in I Samuel. David picks up at the end of I Samuel and continues through all of II Samuel. Solomon starts near the beginning of I Kings and continues for about half of the book. Saul and David are also covered in I Chronicles, and Solomon at the beginning of II Chronicles.
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 book is King Solomon's throne in?
1 Kings 10 and 2 Chronicles 9.
What are in the Old Testament?

Which of David's sons made himself King?
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.
