1 Chronicles 29:23 meaning and explanation

So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.

1 Chronicles 29:23, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

David's long reign ends with the transfer of kingship to his son Solomon, and the Chronicler describes Solomon's seat as "the throne of the LORD." The phrase is striking: Israel's king ruled as the LORD's representative, so the throne belonged to God, who had chosen David's line. The verse follows the assembly's anointing of Solomon and the sacrifices offered that day.
