1 Chroniques 23:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:1

So when David was old and full of days
Perhaps was now in the last year of his age, about seventy years old, though before he was bedridden; see ( 1 Chronicles 28:2 ) ,

he made Solomon his son king over Israel;
declared him to be his successor; this was before the affair of Adonijah, for then he ordered him to be anointed king, and placed on the throne; and this aggravated the rebellion of Adonijah, that it was against the declared and known will of his father.

1 Chroniques 23:1 In-Context

1 Or David, étant vieux et rassasié de jours, établit Salomon, son fils, roi sur Israël.
2 Puis il assembla tous les chefs d'Israël, les sacrificateurs et les Lévites.
3 On fit le dénombrement des Lévites, depuis l'âge de trente ans et au-dessus; et leur nombre fut, par tête, par homme, de trente-huit mille.
4 Il y en eut d'entre eux vingt-quatre mille pour vaquer à l'œuvre de la maison de l'Éternel, et six mille comme scribes et juges
5 Quatre mille comme portiers, et quatre mille qui célébraient l'Éternel, avec les instruments que j'ai faits, dit David, pour le célébrer.
