‏ 1 Kings 2:11

David Dies – Solomon Is King Alone

What is said here of David (cf. 1Chr 29:28), unfortunately, will not be possible to be said of Solomon. David has ruled a total of forty years.

When David died, Solomon alone is king. He continues the kingship of his father David on his throne. By God’s blessing his kingship becomes great (2Chr 1:1).

Through the one throne on which both David and Solomon sit, we see that together they are a picture of the Lord Jesus in His reign. In David we see a reign that he has obtained in battle; in Solomon this is a reign that he exercises in peace and justice.
