Verse 12 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Kings. David dies and is buried in the City of David after forty years of reign. The narrative immediately moves from the death of the founder of the united monarchy to Solomon’s consolidation. The length of David’s reign provides a clear historical transition, while the statement that Solomon sat on his father’s throne indicates that the succession has been established.
