1 Kings 1:47 - John Wesley's Notes

1 Kings 1:47

45 So Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they have gone up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you have heard.

46 Also Solomon ^asits on the throne of the kingdom.

47 And moreover the king’s servants have gone to bless our lord King David, saying, ^a‘May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ ^bThen the king bowed himself on the bed.

48 Also the king said thus, ‘Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has ^agiven one to sit on my throne this day, while my eyes see ^bit!’ ”

49 So all the guests who were with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and each one went his way.
