And moreover
This phrase serves as a continuation of a report, indicating that the events being described are part of a larger narrative. In the context of 1 Kings, this is a pivotal moment in the transition of power from King David to his son Solomon. The Hebrew word "וְגַם" (vegam) suggests an addition or emphasis, underscoring the significance of the news being delivered. It highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to David that his son would succeed him, as seen in 2 Samuel 7:12-13.

Solomon
Solomon, whose name in Hebrew is "שְׁלֹמֹה" (Shlomo), means "peaceful." His name is prophetic, as his reign is characterized by peace and prosperity, unlike the tumultuous reign of his father, David. Solomon is a central figure in biblical history, known for his wisdom, wealth, and the building of the First Temple in Jerusalem. His ascension to the throne marks the beginning of a new era for Israel, fulfilling God's covenant with David.

has taken his seat
The act of taking a seat on the throne is symbolic of assuming authority and kingship. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the throne was a powerful symbol of royal power and divine approval. The Hebrew verb "יָשַׁב" (yashav) implies not just sitting, but dwelling or abiding, indicating a settled and established rule. This act signifies Solomon's legitimate claim to the throne, as ordained by God and supported by key figures like Nathan the prophet and Zadok the priest.

on the royal throne
The "royal throne" is a symbol of sovereignty and governance. In Hebrew, "כִּסֵּא" (kisse) refers to a seat of honor and authority. The throne represents the continuity of David's dynasty, as promised by God. Archaeological findings, such as ancient thrones and depictions of enthronement ceremonies, provide insight into the grandeur and solemnity associated with such events. Solomon's enthronement is not just a political event but a fulfillment of divine prophecy, reinforcing the legitimacy of his rule and the stability of the nation under God's covenant.

(46) And also Solomon sitteth.--Jonathan's announcement here takes up the narrative of events after 1Kings 1:40. The public enthronement in the palace (ordered by David in 1Kings 1:35) follows the anointing and acceptance by the acclamations of the people, as an integral part of the inauguration of royalty.

Verse 46. - And also [the same two words are found at the beginning of vers. 47, 68. They accord well with the breathless and excited state of the speaker, and suggest how each successive detail told on the hearers] Solomon sitteth [rather, "sate, took his seat," ἐκαθισε (LXX.) aorist. See ver. 35] on the throne of the kingdom [rather, "the royal throne." So Gesen. All David's directions were now fulfilled].
