Compare all
20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the Lord your God.” So all the assembly blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the Lord and the king.

Solomon Anointed King

21 And they made sacrifices to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the next day: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and asacrifices in abundance for all Israel.  
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.

27 aAnd the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; bseven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.

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 I 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, etc.

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, I Chronicles 29:23, "that Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father."
