Melachim Alef 1:35

35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my kisse; for he shall be Melech in my place; and I have appointed him to be Nagid (ruler) over Yisroel and over Yehudah.

Melachim Alef 1:35 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:35

Then ye shall come up after him
When anointed, proclaimed, and cheered, then he was to mount the mule, and ride before them as their king, at the head of them; they following after, in token of their subjection to him:

that he may come and sit upon my throne;
at Jerusalem, in the king's palace, and there exercise his kingly power he would now be invested with:

for he shall be king in my stead;
even during David's life, as well as after his decease:

and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel, and over Judah;
that is, over all the twelve tribes of Israel Judah may be particularly mentioned, though included in Israel, because Adonijah had invited the men of Judah to his feast and party, ( 1 Kings 1:9 ) ; and therefore had they not been named, might think he had no power over them.

Melachim Alef 1:35 In-Context

33 HaMelech also said unto them, Take with you the avadim of adoneichem, and have Sh’lomo beni (my son) to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gichon [See Yn 12:14];
34 And let Tzadok HaKohen and Natan HaNavi mashach (anoint) him there Melech over Yisroel; and blow ye with the shofar, and say, Yechi HaMelech Sh’lomo.
35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my kisse; for he shall be Melech in my place; and I have appointed him to be Nagid (ruler) over Yisroel and over Yehudah.
36 And Benayah Ben Yehoyada answered HaMelech, and said, Omein; And so may Hashem Elohei adoni HaMelech say.
37 As Hashem hath been with adoni HaMelech, even so may He be with Sh’lomo, and make his kisse greater than the kisse of adoni HaMelech Dovid.
