1 Chronicles 29:22

Verse 22

22. They made Solomon… king the second time His first enthronement was hurried because of Adonijah’s attempt to usurp the kingdom. See the account in 1 Kings 1:5-49.

And Zadok to be priest Abiathar had been found in conspiracy with Adonijah, (1 Kings 1:7,) and was afterward deposed by Solomon. 1 Kings 2:26. Thereupon Zadok became sole high priest, (1 Kings 2:35,) and it was proper for this great assembly publicly to appoint him to his high office. This assembly was held before Solomon deposed and banished Abiathar, so that we should regard Solomon’s action in the case, as narrated in 1 Kings 2:26-27, as the carrying out of the will of the assembly.
