Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest. 23So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David.

1. David, by his example and entreaty

That day
This phrase signifies a specific, momentous occasion in Israel's history. The Hebrew word for "day" is "yom," which often denotes not just a 24-hour period but a significant time or event. This was a day of celebration and divine approval, marking a pivotal transition in leadership.

they ate and drank
Eating and drinking in the ancient Near Eastern context were acts of fellowship and covenant. This communal meal symbolizes unity and shared purpose among the people of Israel. It reflects the joy and gratitude of the people as they partake in God's blessings and the establishment of Solomon's reign.

with great joy
The Hebrew word for "joy" is "simchah," which conveys a deep, abiding sense of happiness and celebration. This joy is not merely emotional but spiritual, as it is rooted in the fulfillment of God's promises and the continuation of David's lineage through Solomon.

in the presence of the LORD
This phrase underscores the theocratic nature of Israel's monarchy. The presence of the LORD, or "YHWH," indicates divine approval and blessing. It reminds the people that their joy and celebration are ultimately acts of worship and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty.

and they anointed David’s son Solomon as king a second time
The act of anointing, from the Hebrew "mashach," signifies consecration and divine selection. Solomon's second anointing reaffirms his legitimacy and God's choice, ensuring the people's recognition of his authority. This act also reflects the importance of public acknowledgment in establishing a ruler.

and they anointed him as ruler over the LORD’s people
This phrase highlights Solomon's role not just as a political leader but as a shepherd of God's chosen people. The term "ruler" in Hebrew is "nagid," which implies leadership under divine guidance. Solomon's kingship is thus framed as a sacred duty to lead according to God's will.

and Zadok as priest
Zadok's anointing as priest, from the Hebrew "kohen," emphasizes the importance of spiritual leadership alongside political authority. Zadok's role ensures that the priesthood remains aligned with God's covenant, maintaining the spiritual integrity of the nation. This dual anointing of king and priest reflects the balance of governance and worship in Israel's theocratic society.

(22) And did eat and drink.--And they ate and drank. (Comp. the account of the feasting at David's coronation, 1Chronicles 12:39-40.)

And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time.--The first time is briefly noticed in 1Chronicles 23:1. (Comp. the full account, 1Kings 1:32-40.)

And anointed him unto the Lord to be the chief governor.--And anointed (him; perhaps the suffix has fallen out) for Jehovah as prince (n?gid, 1Chronicles 27:16; 1Kings 1:35). . . .

Verse 22. - Evident stress is laid upon the eating and drinking of that day as before the Lord, and upon the anointing of Solomon to the Lord. This latter expression is more forcible than the former. The second time of making Solomon king is explained by 1 Kings 1:32-40; 1 Chronicles 23:1. The statement that Zadok was anointed to be priest must probably be understood to describe, either the re-anointing of him (just as "they made Solomon king the second time") on an occasion which particularly invited it; or an anointing which had not been before fully performed. This latter is, perhaps, an unlikely supposition; but at the same time, the fact of any previous ceremony of the kind does not happen to be narrated. Zadok had been joint priest with Abiatbar of the line of Ithamar (1 Chronicles 15:11; 2 Samuel 24, 29; 19:11); but now he was anointed under circumstances of special publicity, and at a crisis of special interest, to supersede Abiathar. who had sided with Adonijah, and who was early to be removed altogether from the sacred office (1 Kings 1:7, 8, 32, 38, 44, 45; 1 Kings 2:26, 27).
