Melachim Alef 1:48 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 1:48

And also thus said the king
Being in a proper posture for an address to God:

blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on
my throne this day, mine eyes seeing [it];
he ascribes this whole affair to God, and his kind providence, though all things were done according to his own orders; and gives thanks to him, who had directed him to take such steps as these were, and that the business was finished without any obstruction, and to the great joy and satisfaction of the people; and that there was such a prospect of Solomon's having a happy and peaceable reign.

Melachim Alef 1:48 In-Context

46 And also Sh’lomo sitteth on the kisse hameluchah.

47 And moreover the avadim of HaMelech came to make a brocha on adoneinu HaMelech Dovid, saying, May your G-d make the shem of Sh’lomo more famous than thy shem, and make his kisse greater than thy kisse. And HaMelech bowed himself upon the mishkav (bed).

48 Also so said HaMelech, Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Who hath given one to sit on my kisse this day, mine eyes even seeing it.

49 And kol hakeruvim (all the invited ones) that were with Adoniyah were terrified, and rose up, and went every ish his own derech [see Isa 53:6].

50 And Adoniyah feared because of Sh’lomo, and arose, and went, and caught hold of the karnayim of the Mizbe’ach.
