The throne is handed on to Solomon by David. This is seen as part of
the ongoing purpose of God: “Praise the Lord God of Israel who has let
me see the heir to my throne” (1 Kings 1:48). The kingship was given to
Solomon by “the Lord” (1 Kings 2:15) - “The Lord set me on my father
David’s throne ... As He promised” (1 Kings 2:24). When we read the
history of the kings of Israel, it is important that we do not lose
sight of this spiritual dimension. This is more than the story of men.
It’s the story of God’s dealings with His people.
