46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
46 Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
46 Solomon sits on the royal throne.
46 Here's the crowning touch - Solomon is seated on the throne of the kingdom!
46 Also Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
46 What's more, Solomon is now sitting on the royal throne as king.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Kings 1:46
Commentary on 1 Kings 1:32-53
(Read 1 Kings 1:32-53)
The people expressed great joy and satisfaction in the elevation of Solomon. Every true Israelite rejoices in the exaltation of the Son of David. Combinations formed upon evil principles will soon be dissolved, when self-interest calls another way. How can those who do evil deeds expect to have good tidings? Adonijah had despised Solomon, but soon dreaded him. We see here, as in a glass, Jesus, the Son of David and the Son of God, exalted to the throne of glory, notwithstanding all his enemies. His kingdom is far greater than that of his father David, and therein all the true people of God cordially rejoice. The prosperity of his cause is vexation and terror to his enemies. No horns of the altar, nor forms of godliness, nor pretences to religion, can profit those who will not submit to His authority, and accept of his salvation; and if their submission be hypocritical, they shall perish without remedy.
