Commentary

Matthew Henry on 1 Chronicles 29:23–end

These verses bring king Solomon to his throne and king David to his grave. Thus the rising generation thrusts out that which went before, and says, "Make room for us." Every one has his day. I. Here is Solomon rising (Ch1 29:23): Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. Not his throne which he prepared in the heavens, but the throne of Israel is called the throne of the Lord because not only is he King of all nations, and all kings rule under him, but he was in a peculiar manner King of Israel, Sa1 12:12. He had the founding, he had the filling, of their throne, by immediate direction. The municipal laws of their kingdom were divine. Urim and prophets were the privy counsellors of their prince…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 29:24

submitted themselves--Hebrew, "put their hands under Solomon," according to the custom still practised in the East of putting a hand under the king's extended hand and kissing the back of it (Kg2 10:15).

Adam Clarke on 1 Chronicles 29:24

Submitted themselves - נתנו יד תחת שלמה nathenu yad tachath Shelomoh. "They gave the hand under Solomon;" they swore fealty to him. We have already seen that putting the hand under the thigh (super sectionem circumcisionis) was the form of taking an oath. See the note on Gen 24:9.

John Gill on 1 Chronicles 29:24

And all the princes and the mighty men,.... The princes of the tribes, and the officers of the army: and all the sons likewise of King David; as many as were living: and though they were elder than Solomon: they submitted to Solomon the king; or "gave the hand under" (t) him, promised obedience, and swore allegiance to him, see Genesis 24:2. (t) "dederunt manum sub Selomoh", Pagninus, Montanus, Michaelis.

Keil & Delitzsch on 1 Chronicles 29:24

And the Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly before all Israel,.... By giving him such a large share of wisdom and understanding in government: and bestowed upon him such royal majesty; not only such wealth and riches, but such honour and reverence: as had not been on any king before him in Israel; not on Saul, nor even on David.
