1 Chronicles 29:23-25

[23] Then Solomon  sat on  the throne  of the LORD  as king  instead of David  his father,  and prospered;  and all Israel  obeyed  [24] And all the princes,  and the mighty men,  and all the sons  likewise of king  David,  submitted themselves  unto Solomon  the king.  [25] And the LORD  magnified  Solomon  exceedingly  in the sight  of all Israel,  and bestowed  upon him such royal  majesty  as had not been on any king  before  him in Israel. 

What does 1 Chronicles 29:23-25 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Two years after David"s blessing, Solomon mounted the throne as sole king of Israel. [1] The events surrounding Adonijah"s rebellion ( 1 Kings 1) were of no significance to the Chronicler since they had no bearing on his purpose. His interest lay in Solomon as a focus of the Davidic Covenant promises and the builder of the temple.
