1 Cronache 23:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:1

So when David was old and full of days
Perhaps was now in the last year of his age, about seventy years old, though before he was bedridden; see ( 1 Chronicles 28:2 ) ,

he made Solomon his son king over Israel;
declared him to be his successor; this was before the affair of Adonijah, for then he ordered him to be anointed king, and placed on the throne; and this aggravated the rebellion of Adonijah, that it was against the declared and known will of his father.

1 Cronache 23:1 In-Context

1 DAVIDE adunque, essendo vecchio, e sazio di giorni, costituì Salomone, suo figliuolo, re sopra Israele.

2 E adunò tutti i capi d’Israele, e i sacerdoti, e i Leviti.

3 E i Leviti furono annoverati dall’età di trent’anni in su. E il numero di essi, annoverati gli uomini a testa a testa, fu di trentottomila.

4 D’infra essi ventiquattromila doveano vacare all’opera della Casa del Signore; e seimila doveano esser giudici ed ufficiali

5 e quattromila, portinai; ed altri quattromila doveano lodare il Signore con gli strumenti che io ho fatti, disse Davide, per lodarlo.
