📚 Historical Context

This verse concludes the account of King David's life and reign over Israel, which lasted about 40 years (around 1010-970 BC). David had successfully united the twelve tribes of Israel, established Jerusalem as the capital, and made preparations for building the temple, though God had told him his son would actually build it. The peaceful transition of power to Solomon fulfilled God's promise and ensured the continuation of David's royal line.
