20 Then David said to all the assembly , "Now bless the Lord your God ." And all the assembly blessed the Lord , the God of their fathers , and bowed low and did homage to the Lord and to the king . 21 On the next day they made sacrifices to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord , 1,000 bulls , 1,000 rams and 1,000 lambs , with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel . 22 So they ate and drank that day before the Lord with great gladness . And they made Solomon the son of David king a second time , and they anointed him as ruler for the Lord and Zadok as priest .
23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father ; and he prospered , and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the officials , the mighty men , and also all the sons of King David pledged allegiance e to King Solomon . 25 The Lord highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel , and bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel .

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.
