We read in the Old Testament of the orderly transition of kings. Perhaps the most orderly of all was David to Solomon. David paved the way for Solomon. This is a great model for pastoral transitions today. Here is a recap of how seamless the transition.
"The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal splendor such as no king over Israel ever had before. "David son of Jesse was king over all Israel. He ruled over Israel forty years—seven in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem. He died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king."
