SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:36
Entonces Benaía hijo de Joiada respondió al rey, y dijo: Amén. Así lo diga el SEÑOR, Dios de mi señor el rey.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 1:36
Verse 36. Sit upon my throne] The matter of conducting a business of this kind seems to have been this: 1. The king elect was placed on the mule of his predecessor, and caused to ride abroad to one of the public wells, or to a river where there was the greatest concourse of people, that they might see who he was that was appointed. Solomon was here taken to the river Gihon, in order to be anointed; the continual stream or constantly running fountain, denoting the perpetuity of the kingdom. 2. The priest and the prophet anointed him in the name of the Lord; and thereby signified that he should be endued with all the kingly virtues; that he should reign by, under, and for the Lord. 3. The trumpet was then to be blown, and solemn proclamation made, that he was anointed king. 4. He was then brought and solemnly placed on the throne, to signify that he had now assumed the reins of government, and was about to administer justice and judgement to the people.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king , etc.] In the name of the rest: and said, Amen ; they all assented to it, and expressed their satisfaction in it: the Lord God of my lord the king say so [too] ; let it appear, by the prosperity and success that shall by divine Providence attend the new king, that this is according to the will of God. Ver. 37 . As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon , etc.] To guide and direct him, protect and defend him, succeed and prosper him the Targum is, “as the Word of the Lord has been the help of my lord the king, so let him be for the help of Solomon:” and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David : which he knew would not displease David, who not only had an affectionate regard for Solomon his son, but wished heartily the prosperity of the kingdom of Israel; and the wish on all accounts was grateful to him, though to an envious and ambitious prince it might have been disagreeable.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 32-53 - The people expressed great joy and satisfaction in the elevation of Solomon. Every true Israelite rejoices in the exaltation of the Son of David. Combinations formed upon evil principles will soon be dissolved when self-interest calls another way. How can those who do evil deed expect to have good tidings? Adonijah had despised Solomon, but soo dreaded him. We see here, as in a glass, Jesus, the Son of David an the Son of God, exalted to the throne of glory, notwithstanding all his enemies. His kingdom is far greater than that of his father David, an therein all the true people of God cordially rejoice. The prosperity of his cause is vexation and terror to his enemies. No horns of the altar nor forms of godliness, nor pretences to religion, can profit those wh will not submit to His authority, and accept of his salvation; and in their submission be hypocritical, they shall perish without remedy __________________________________________________________________
