(46) And also Solomon sitteth.Jonathans announcement here takes up the narrative of events after 1Ki. 1:40. The public enthronement in the palace (ordered by David in 1Ki. 1:35) follows the anointing and acceptance by the acclamations of the people, as an integral part of the inauguration of royalty.

Ver. 46. And also Solomon sitteth. ] He is in actual possession, and therefore you are lost. Every man is either a king or a captive; Aut Caesar, aut nullus. Either Caesar or no one. Every man, saith Augustine, shall either reign with Christ, or be damned with the devil.

1Ki 1:46-48. Also Solomon sitteth on the throne Being in actual possession of the kingdom, though his father be alive. For to sit upon the throne was proper to the king; and none else, on pain of death, might be placed there. The king bowed himself upon the bed Adoring God for this great mercy, and thereby declaring his hearty consent to this action. And also thus said the king, Blessed be the Lord, &c. He gave his solemn thanks to God for the happiness of seeing Solomon begin his reign, with such affection of his people as they expressed by their joy at his inauguration. It is a great satisfaction to good men, when they are going out of the world, to see their children rising up in their stead, to serve God in their generation: and especially to see peace upon Israel, and the establishment of it.
