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

The second time - The first time, was when he was made king during Adonijah's conspiracy. And Zadok - It must be remembered that the high - priest had his viceregent who might officiate in his stead. So that this action of theirs, the anointing Zadok, did not, actually constitute him high - priest, but only settled the reversion of it upon him and his line after Abiathar's death; even as David's making Solomon king, and their anointing Solomon to be the chief governor here, did not put him into actual possession of the kingdom, but only gave him a right to it after the present king's death: hence, notwithstanding this anointing, Abiathar continued to exercise his office 'till Solomon thrust him out, I Kings 2:27.
