1 Kings 2:45 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 2:45

And King Solomon [shall be] blessed
With a long and peaceable reign, and large dominions, notwithstanding all the attempts to make him unhappy:

and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever;
the kingdom of David over Judah for a long time, in his natural line; and the kingdom of Israel, spiritual Israel, for ever in his son the Messiah; and that in the presence of the Lord, he observing, ordering, and succeeding all things to that purpose.

1 Kings 2:45 In-Context

43 Why didn't you keep your oath to the LORD and obey the command I gave you?
44 Shimei, you know in your heart all the evil that you did to my father David. The LORD is going to pay you back for the evil you have done.
45 But King Solomon is blessed, and David's dynasty will always be firmly established by the LORD."
46 Then the king gave orders to Benaiah, son of Jehoiada. He went to attack and kill Shimei. Solomon's power as king was now firmly established.
