David in the Holy Land

Seder Olam Zutta 5:1

Boaz begot Obed, and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David. And David reigned over Israel in the year 396 from their entry into the land, which is the year 440 from the exodus from Egypt, and the year 2,884 from the creation of the world. And Abiathar was high priest in his days, and Nathan and Gad were prophets. And he reigned forty years, until 2,924 from the creation. And David begot Solomon, and Solomon reigned at the age of twelve years. And in the fourth year he began to build the Temple, which was the year 2,928 from the creation. And in the eleventh year of his reign the building of the Temple was completed.
