1 Kings 1:36 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:36

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king
In the name of the rest:

and said, Amen;
they all assented to it, and expressed their satisfaction in it:

let it appear, by the prosperity and success that shall by divine Providence attend the new king, that this is according to the will of God.

1 Kings 1:36 In-Context

34 and let Tzadok the Kohen and Natan the prophet anoint him there king over Yisra'el; and blow you the shofar, and say, [Long] live king Shlomo.

35 Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place; and I have appointed him to be prince over Yisra'el and over Yehudah.

36 Benayah the son of Yehoiada answered the king, and said, Amein: the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so [too].

37 As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so be he with Shlomo, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

38 So Tzadok the Kohen, and Natan the prophet, and Benayah the son of Yehoiada, and the Kereti and the Peleti, went down, and caused Shlomo to ride on king David's mule, and brought him to Gichon.
