1 Chronicles 29:22

_AND DID EAT AND DRINK BEFORE THE LORD ON THAT DAY WITH GREAT GLADNESS. AND THEY MADE SOLOMON THE SON OF DAVID KING THE SECOND TIME, AND ANOINTED HIM UNTO THE LORD TO BE THE CHIEF GOVERNOR, AND ZADOK TO_ _ BE PRIEST._ And did eat and drink before the Lord - either in the immediate vicinity of the ark, or, perhaps, rather in a religions and devout spirit, as partaking of a sacrificial meal. MADE SOLOMON ... KING THE SECOND TIME. In reference to the first time, which was done precipitately, on Adonijah's conspiracy, cf. 1 Kings 1:35. This mention of a second anointing, in a historical book which does not record the first, and the description of the first, in another historical book which does not contain any allusion to the second, forms an undesigned coincidence which furnishes a strong confirmation of its truth. ANOINTED ... ZADOK. This stat

20-25 This great assembly joined with David in adoring God. Whoever is the mouth of the congregation, those only have the benefit who join him, not by bowing down the head, so much as by lifting up the soul. Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. Solomon's kingdom typified the kingdom of the Messiah, whose throne is the throne of the Lord....

Verse 1 Chronicles 29:22. _THEY MADE SOLOMON - KING THE SECOND TIME_] The _first_ time of his being anointed and proclaimed king was when his brother Adonijah affected the throne; and Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah anointed and proclaimed him in a hurry, and without pomp. See 1 Kings 1:39. Now that all is quiet, and David his father dead, (for he was probably so at the time of the second anointing,) they anointed and proclaimed him afresh, with due ceremonies, sacrifices, c. TO BE _THE CHIEF GOVERNOR_] To be the vicegerent or deputy of Jehovah for God never gave up his right of king in Israel; those called kings were only his lieutenants: hence it is said, 1 Chr

KING THE SECOND TIME - Solomon’s first appointment was at the time of Adonijah’s rebellion (marginal reference). As that appointment was hurried and, comparatively speaking, private, David now thought it best formally to invest Solomon a second time with the sovereignty, in the face of all Israel. For a similar reason a second and public appointment of Zadok alone to the high priest’s office took place. Abiathar was not as yet absolutely thrust out; but it may be doubtful whether he was ever allowed to perform high priestly functions after his rebellion 1Ki 1:7; 1 Kings 2:27....

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 29:1 These verses continue the account of what David said to the whole congregation, respecting his son Solomon and his tender age in view of the great enterprise of building the temple; respecting the public preparations which had been already made, and the gifts of his own individual property—these latter being alluded to, no doubt, for the sake of example. On the faith of them he grounds with tenfold effect his appeal to people and princes to join heartily in the work. The verses (6-9)also contain the statement of the hearty practical response which was made by the "chiefs of the fathers and princes of the tribes," and other varieties of givers, and of the consequent general joy. 1 CHRONICLES 29:1

AND THEY DID EAT AND DRINK BEFORE THE LORD ON THAT DAY WITH GREAT GLADNESS,.... Before the ark of the Lord, which was in the tabernacle David had pitched for it: AND THEY MADE SOLOMON THE SON OF DAVID KING THE SECOND TIME; the first was upon Adonijah's rebellion, and was done in the presence only of the inhabitants of Jerusalem; but this was done by and in the presence of all the great personages in the land: AND ANOINTED HIM UNTO THE LORD TO BE THE CHIEF GOVERNOR; under his father during his lifetime, and then to reign in his own right: AND ZADOK TO BE PRIEST; high priest; which office yet he did not exercise till after the death of David, when Abiathar was thrust out by Solomon....
