1 Chronicles 29:24 - Adam Clarke

1 Chronicles 29:24

22 So they ate and drank before the Lord with great gladness on that day. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and ^aanointed him before the Lord to be the leader, and Zadok to be priest.

23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

24 All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, ^asubmitted themselves to King Solomon.

25 So the Lord exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and ^abestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

Submitted themselves - 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 Genesis 24:9.
