I have succeeded my father David • The royal succession was not an accident of politics but a direct act of God’s covenant faithfulness (1 Kings 2:12). • David’s charge to Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28:5-7 underscores that the kingship itself was a sacred trust, tied to obedience. • The smooth transition highlights God’s ability to use ordinary human events—crowning a new king—to advance His redemptive plan. and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised • Solomon’s reign fulfills the “everlasting throne” guarantee in Psalm 132:11-12. • Every day Solomon occupied that throne, Israel saw living proof of 2 Samuel 7:13. • The promise-keeping God anchors national stability; political legitimacy flows from divine commitment, not human maneuvering (1 Kings 8:20).

Literally, caused to rise up.Spoken--i.e., promised. Set.--Seated. (No variant from Kings.) Verses 10, 11. - The moment that might have witnessed the utmost inflation of spiritual pride, the acme of ambition, the highest point of even moral kind of grandeur, being touched, is saved from the peril. To the "performing of the Lord" the glory is all given (Luke 1:54, 55, 68-72). Probably delivered from earthly feeling, and sheltered just now from self and human ambition, Solomon was in a very high degree "in the spirit" (Revelation 1:10) on this great day. The moment was a proud moment in Solomon's history, as well there may be proud moments in men's lives, but it was divinely shielded, as divinely inspired. Hereafter, for all that, "the thorn in the flesh" might become very necessary, lest Solomon "be exalted above measure" in the memory of all that had transpired.Parallel Commentaries ...
