1 Chronicles 29:22

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

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

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

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

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 29:22

King the second time - Solomon’s first appointment was at the time of Adonijah’s rebellion (marginal reference). As that appointment was hurried and, comparatively speaking, private, David now thought it best formally to invest Solomon a second time with the sovereignty, in the face of all Israel. For a similar reason a second and public appointment of Zadok alone to the high priest’s office took place. Abiathar was not as yet absolutely thrust out; but it may be doubtful whether he was ever... read more

And did eat and drink before the Lord Before the ark, in the courts or places as near to it as they conveniently could: or, as in God’s presence, in a solemn and religious manner, praising God for this great mercy, and entreating his blessing on this great affair. They made Solomon king the second time The first time was, when he was made king during Adonijah’s conspiracy, (1 Kings 1:34,) on which occasion it was done in great haste, and in the presence of only a few... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 29:1-30

Solomon presented to the people (28:1-29:30)David had been forced to appoint Solomon as king hastily when he learnt that another son, Adonijah, was plotting to seize the throne for himself (see notes on 1 Kings 1:5-53). That very unceremonious anointing of Solomon was followed soon after by a second anointing, this time with full religious and regal ceremony (see 29:22). This second occasion is the one that the Chronicler refers to here. David presented Solomon to the people as the one who, by... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 29:22

SOLOMON MADE KING THE SECOND TIME"And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto Jehovah to be prince, and Zadok to be priest. Then Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon. And Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him much... read more
