EXPOSITORY (ENGLISH BIBLE)

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(27) And the time (Heb., the days).

That he reigned.—This verse is a duplicate of 1Kings 2:11, omitting the words “David” at the beginning and “years” at the end.

Seven years.—More exactly, seven and a-half. (See 2Samuel 5:5.)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

This great assembly joined with David in adoring God. Whoever is the mouth of the congregation, those only have the benefit who join him, not by bowing down the head, so much as by lifting up the soul. Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. Solomon's kingdom typified the kingdom of the Messiah, whose throne is the throne of the Lord.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The throne of David is called here "the throne of the Lord," as in 1 Chronicles 28:5 it is called "the throne of the kingdom of the Lord," because God had set it up and had promised to establish it.
