You add the bond energies of the individual bonds.

Explanation:

The structure of glucose is

The molecule contains 5 #"C-C"# bonds, 7 #"C-H"# bonds, 7 #"C-O"# bonds, and 5 #"O-H"# bonds.

#D("glucose") = 5D("C-C") + 7D("C-H") + 7D("C-O") + 5D("O-H")#
#D"/kJ·mol"^"-1": color(white)(mm)347color(white)(mmmm) 413color(white)(mmmmm) 358color(white)(mmmm) 467#

#D("glucose") = (5×347 + 7×413 + 7×358 + 5×467) color(white)(l)"kJ" = "9467 kJ"#

∴ The bond energy of 1 mol of glucose is 9467 kJ.
