What does 1 Kings 1:17 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
1 Kings 1:17
And she said unto him, my lord, thou swarest by the Lord
thy
God unto thine handmaid
Which was a very solemn oath, and binding, and which she puts
David in mind of, knowing that so conscientious a man as he was
would religiously observe it:
[saying], assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me,
and shall sit
upon my throne;
be his successor in it, and established on it.
