Commentary

Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord,.... Who had given it to him, and established hi m on it, and whose vicegerent he was, and over whose people he ruled: as king instead of David; he was viceroy to him in his life time, and succeeded him at his death, when he had the full power of government: and prospered; his reign was happy and peaceable: and all Israel obeyed him; at once; whereas it was some time, even years, before all Israel obeyed David.
