מלכים א, פרק י״א, פסוק מ״ג

The end of a long and significant reign often brings sudden change, but the transfer of leadership from King Solomon to his son unfolds with remarkable calm. His final days are marked by a sense of quiet closure rather than turmoil.

The description of Solomon resting with his ancestors serves to show that the king passed away in a state of complete peace [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Following his peaceful death, he was laid to rest in the City of David, bringing his rule to a gentle close as his son Rehoboam stepped forward to inherit the throne.
