It is not my fancy or fond affection, but Gods express will, that Solomon should be preferred before his elder brethren; and therefore all of you are obliged to submit to him, and accept of him as your king by Divine appointment.

And of all my sons, for the Lord hath given me many sons,…. Whose names, and the order of their birth, may be read in 1Ch 3:1
he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel; to be his successor in it: this he says to observe to them, that this was not merely his own will and choice, nor the fruit and effect of a fond affection to Solomon; nor was it barely in pursuance of a promise made to Bathsheba, she had obtained of him; but it was according to the will and appointment of God, and therefore to be the more regarded.

(5) Many sons.See 1Ch. 3:1-9, where nineteen are mentioned by name, besides the sons of the concubines, and Tamar their sister.
He hath chosen.Heb., then he chose, the construction being changed after the parenthesis.
Solomon my son.The son who has the best right to the name. (Comp. 1Ch. 22:10.)
The throne of the kingdom of the Lord.This expression is unique in the Old Testament. (Comp. 1Ch. 29:23; 1Ch. 17:14.) It brings out into strong relief the idea that the Israelite monarchy was only a vicegerency; not David nor Solomon, but Jehovah being the true and only King. (Comp. Gideons reply to the offer of the crown, Jdg. 8:23; 1Sa. 8:7; 1Sa. 12:12.)
