1 Chronicles 29:22-25 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:10-22

We have here, I. The solemn address which David made to God upon occasion of the noble subscriptions of the princes towards the building of the temple (1 Chron. 29:10): Wherefore David blessed the Lord, not only alone in his closet, but before all the congregation. This I expected when we read (1 Chron. 29:9) that David rejoiced with great joy; for such a devout man as he would no doubt make that the matter of his thanksgiving which was so much the matter of his rejoicing. He that looked round... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:23-30

These verses bring king Solomon to his throne and king David to his grave. Thus the rising generation thrusts out that which went before, and says, ?Make room for us.? Every one has his day. I. Here is Solomon rising (1 Chron. 29:23): Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. Not his throne which he prepared in the heavens, but the throne of Israel is called the throne of the Lord because not only is he King of all nations, and all kings rule under him, but he was in a peculiar manner King of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:22

And they did eat and drink before the Lord on that day with great gladness ,.... Before the ark of the Lord, which was in the tabernacle David had pitched for it: and they made Solomon the son of David king the second time ; the first was upon Adonijah's rebellion, and was done in the presence only of the inhabitants of Jerusalem; but this was done by and in the presence of all the great personages in the land: and anointed him unto the Lord to be the chief governor ; under his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:23

Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord ,.... Who had given it to him, and established him on it, and whose vicegerent he was, and over whose people he ruled: as king instead of David ; he was viceroy to him in his life time, and succeeded him at his death, when he had the full power of government: and prospered ; his reign was happy and peaceable: and all Israel obeyed him ; at once; whereas it was some time, even years, before all Israel obeyed David. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:24

And all the princes and the mighty men ,.... The princes of the tribes, and the officers of the army: and all the sons likewise of King David ; as many as were living: and though they were elder than Solomon: they submitted to Solomon the king ; or "gave the hand under" F20 וישם יד תחת "dederunt manum sub Selomoh", Pagninus, Montanus, Michaelis. him, promised obedience, and swore allegiance to him, see Genesis 24:2 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:25

And the Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly before all Israel ,.... By giving him such a large share of wisdom and understanding in government: and bestowed upon him such royal majesty ; not only such wealth and riches, but such honour and reverence: as had not been on any king before him in Israel ; not on Saul, nor even on David. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 29:22

They made Solomon - king the second time - The first time of his being anointed and proclaimed king was when his brother Adonijah affected the throne; and Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah anointed and proclaimed him in a hurry, and without pomp. See 1 Kings 1:39 . Now that all is quiet, and David his father dead, (for he was probably so at the time of the second anointing), they anointed and proclaimed him afresh, with due ceremonies, sacrifices, etc. To be the chief ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 29:24

Submitted themselves - שלמה תחת יד נתנו nathenu yad tachath Shelomoh . "They gave the hand under Solomon;" they swore fealty to him. We have already seen that putting the hand under the thigh ( super sectionem circumcisionis ) was the form of taking an oath. See the note on Genesis 24:9 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:21-25

These verses record "the sacrifices and drink offerings" by which all the service of this day was ratified as it were on the following day; also the solemn "anointing of Solomon to the Lord as chief governor, and of Zadok as priest," with the visible enthronement of Solomon, and the submission to him "of all Israel, of all the princes and mighty men, and also of all the sons of David" ( 1 Kings 1:49-53 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:22

Evident stress is laid upon the eating and drinking of that day as before the Lord , and upon the anointing of Solomon to the Lord. This latter expression is more forcible than the former. The second time of making Solomon king is explained by 1 Kings 1:32-40 ; 1 Chronicles 23:1 . The statement that Zadok was anointed to be priest must probably be understood to describe, either the re-anointing of him (just as "they made Solomon king the second time") on an occasion which... read more
