Solomon ascended to the throne and became king after his father, King David, passed away. David had chosen Solomon as his successor and made sure that he would be the next king before he died. Solomon's older brother, Adonijah, had tried to claim the throne, but Solomon was ultimately crowned king with the support of key figures in the kingdom.
