1 Chronicles 29:23-25

Solomon’s coronation 29:23-25

Two years after David’s blessing, Solomon mounted the throne as sole king of Israel. [Note: Merrill, Kingdom of . . ., p. 248, n. 37.] The events surrounding Adonijah’s rebellion (1 Kings 1) were of no significance to the Chronicler since they had no bearing on his purpose. His interest lay in Solomon as a focus of the Davidic Covenant promises and the builder of the temple.
