David's oldest son, Adonijah, tries to take the throne upon his near death, but Nathan makes sure Solomon ends up king. The transfer of power was going smoothly until Adonijah asked Solomon if he could marry a little girl that David was sleeping alongside in his old age... yeah... weird.
Solomon had his brother killed and then took to the job of being king... pretty well actually. He married Pharaoh's daughter, creating an alliance with Egypt, had God give him wisdom and infinite riches, and built a crazy fancy temple for God to live in in style all decked out in gold!
