Who had given it to him, and established him on it, and whose vicegerent he was, and over whose people he ruled:

as king instead of David;
he was viceroy to him in his life time, and succeeded him at his death, when he had the full power of government:

and prospered;
his reign was happy and peaceable:

and all Israel obeyed him;
at once; whereas it was some time, even years, before all Israel obeyed David.
