(5) Many sons.--See 1Chronicles 3:1-9, where nineteen are mentioned by name, "besides the sons of the concubines, and Tamar their sister."

He hath chosen.--Heb., then he chose, the construction being changed after the parenthesis.

Solomon my son.--The son who has the best right to the name. (Comp. 1Chronicles 22:10.)

The throne of the kingdom of the Lord.--This expression is unique in the Old Testament. (Comp. 1Chronicles 29:23; 1Chronicles 17:14.) It brings out into strong relief the idea that the Israelite monarchy was only a vicegerency; not David nor Solomon, but Jehovah being the true and only King. (Comp. Gideon's reply to the offer of the crown, Judges 8:23; 1Samuel 8:7; 1Samuel 12:12.) . . .
