SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:48
Y también el rey habló así: Bendito sea el SEÑOR Dios de Israel, que ha dado hoy quien se siente en mi trono, viéndolo mis ojos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 48. And also thus said the king , etc.] Being in a proper posture for an address to God: blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes seeing [it] ; he ascribes this whole affair to God, and his kind providence, though all things were done according to his own orders; and gives thanks to him, who had directed him to take such steps as these were, and that the business was finished without any obstruction, and to the great joy and satisfaction of the people; and that there was such a prospect of Solomon’s having a happy and peaceable reign. Ver. 49 . And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah [were] afraid , etc.] Though many of them were military men, the general of the army, and the captains thereof, ( 1 Kings 1:19,25); yet they were struck with a panic, their courage failed them, they had no spirit left in them, their hearts became as weak as water; had they exerted themselves according to their character, betaken themselves to arms, and put themselves at the head of their troops in favour of Adonijah, it would have given Solomon and his friends a great deal of trouble; no doubt this panic was of God: and rose up, and went every man his way ; or to his house, as the Arabic version; on hearing what Jonathan reported, they immediately rose up from table in great haste, and made the best of their way to their houses, that it might not be known that they had been with Adonijah.
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 __________________________________________________________________
