Verse 8
(8) On his throne—i.e., Jehovah’s throne. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 28:5.) Kings has, “on the throne of Israel.”
To be king for the Lord thy God.—A further insistance on the idea that Solomon was but the vicegerent of Jehovah. The clause is added by the chronicler, but need not be called “an evidently wilful alteration” (Thenius).
To establish.—This phrase is wanting in the Hebrew of Kings, but is probably original, as the LXX. there has it.
