Commentary
Matthew Henry on 1 Kings 1:32-40
We have here the effectual care David took both to secure Solomon's right and to preserve the public peace, by crushing Adonijah's project in the bud. Observe,
I. The express orders he gave for the proclaiming of Solomon. The persons he entrusted with this great affair were Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah, men of power and interest whom David had always reposed a confidence in and found faithful to him, and whom Adonijah had passed by in his invitation, Kg1 1:10. David orders them forthwith, with all possible solemnity, to proclaim Solomon. They must take with them the servants of their lord, the lifeguards, and all the servants of the household. They must set Solomon on the mule the king used to…
anoint him--done only in the case of a new dynasty or disputed succession (see on Sa1 16:13; Sa2 2:1).
Adam Clarke on 1 Kings 1:34
Blow ye with the trumpet - After he has been anointed, make proclamation that he is king.
John Gill on 1 Kings 1:34
And let Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, anoint him there king over Israel,.... For it might be done by either of them, as the unctions of Saul and David show:
and blow ye the trumpet, and say, God save King Solomon; the blowing of the trumpet was to make it public; the proclamation of him as king was to be made by the sound of it, and the acclamation of the people was to express their concurrence with it, their loyal affection to the new king, and their hearty wishes for his health, prosperity, and long life.
Keil & Delitzsch on 1 Kings 1:34
The blowing of the trumpet and the cry "Long live the king" (cf. Sa1 10:24) were to serve as a solemn proclamation after the anointing had taken place.

Tyndale Open Study Notes on 1 Kings 1:34
Solomon’s anointing followed established protocol in being administered by a prophet (see 1 Sam 16:1-13). • Priests also played significant roles in royal matters, and the populace would welcome Zadok’s blessing. David later confirmed Solomon’s kingship in a public ceremony (1 Chr 29:22).
Rashi on 1 Kings 1:34
And he shall be anointed. He places the oil between his eyelids in the form of a crown.28See Maseches Horiyos 12a.
