Sitting on the throne symbolizes the transfer of royal authority and legitimacy. In the context of 1 Kings, this is King David's throne, representing the continuation of the Davidic dynasty. The throne is not just a physical seat but a symbol of God's covenant with David, promising that his descendants would rule Israel (2 Samuel 7:12-16). and reign in my place
This phrase underscores the transition of power from David to Solomon. It highlights the continuity of leadership and the fulfillment of God's promise to David. The concept of reigning "in my place" also suggests a stewardship under God's ultimate kingship, as earthly kings were seen as God's representatives. For I have appointed him
The appointment of Solomon is portrayed as divinely ordained, reflecting the biblical theme of God's sovereignty in choosing leaders. This echoes other instances in Scripture where God selects individuals for specific purposes, such as Moses (Exodus 3:10) and David himself (1 Samuel 16:12). It underscores the belief that true authority comes from God. ruler over Israel and Judah
This phrase indicates the united monarchy under Solomon, encompassing all the tribes of Israel. Historically, this period is marked by political stability and prosperity. The mention of both Israel and Judah foreshadows the later division of the kingdom after Solomon's reign (1 Kings 12), highlighting the significance of unity under a divinely appointed king. Solomon's rule is also seen as a type of Christ's future reign, where Jesus is prophesied to unite and rule over all nations (Isaiah 9:6-7). Persons / Places / Events 1.

Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from 1 Kings 1
Who were the kings of Israel and Judah?
Who cared for King David in his old age?
If God's promise in 2 Samuel 7:16 is 'forever,' why does the monarchy disappear from Israel's recorded history?
What is the significance of the Tribe of Judah?(35) Over Israel and over Judah.--The phrase clearly refers to the distinction, already tending to become a division, between Israel and Judah in relation to the monarchy. In the case of David himself, it may be observed that the record of his accession to royalty over Israel contains the notice of "a league" made by him with the elders of Israel ( 2Samuel 5:3), to which there is nothing to correspond in the account of his becoming king over Judah ( 2Samuel 2:4). This perhaps indicates from the beginning a less absolute rule over the other tribes. Certainly the history of the rebellion of Absalom ( 2Samuel 15:10; 2Samuel 15:13; 2Samuel 18:6-7), the disputes about the restoration of David ( 2Samuel 19:41-43), and the attempt of Sheba to take advantage of them ( 2Samuel 20:1-2), show a looser allegiance of Israel than of Judah to the house of David. . . . Verse 35. - Then ye shall come up (after him [not in the LXX. Cod. Vat.] that he may [Hebrews and he shall] come and sit upon my throne [in every possible way his accession was to be proclaimed and confirmed], for he shall be king in my stead [David i.e., virtually abdicates in Solomon's favour. Cf. vers. 46, 51, 53; 1 Chronicles 29:23, 26], and I have appointed him [he and him are emphasised in the original] to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. It is possible, as Bahr thinks, that Israel and Judah were severally mentioned because David had once been king over Judah only, and because Israel had gone over to the side of Absalom. It is more probable, however, that "Israel and Judah" was even then the current designation of the two component parts of the realm (see 2 Samuel 2:9, 10; 2 Samuel 19:11, 41, etc.). Besides, we can hardly suppose that the historian has in every case, though he probably has in this, preserved the exact words of the speaker; and it need cause us no surprise had he put into David's mouth the phraseology of a later age. In the nature of things he can only give us the substance of conversations such as these.
