1 Kings 1:45 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:45

And Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, have anointed
him king in Gihon
Or at Gihon; that is, Siloah, according to the Targum; here the act of anointing is ascribed to them both, as in ( 1 Kings 1:34 ) ; Zadok very probably applied the oil to him, and Nathan might be some way or other assisting in it; however he was here present, not only as approving of it, but declaring it as a prophet, that it was according to the will of God, as well as of the king:

and they are come up from thence rejoicing;
with a multitude of people along with them:

so that the city rang again;
with the blowing of trumpets, the sound of pipings, and the shouts of the people:

this [is] the noise which ye have heard;
which had so alarmed them.

1 Kings 1:45 In-Context

43 Yonatan answered Adoniyahu, Most assuredly our lord king David has made Shlomo king:

44 and the king has sent with him Tzadok the Kohen, and Natan the prophet, and Benayah the son of Yehoiada, and the Kereti and the Peleti; and they have caused him to ride on the king's mule;

45 and Tzadok the Kohen and Natan the prophet have anointed him king in Gichon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.

46 Also Shlomo sits on the throne of the kingdom.

47 Moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Your God make the name of Shlomo better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne: and the king bowed himself on the bed.
