His name means "peaceful," and he is often associated with wisdom and prosperity. Solomon's rise to the throne fulfills the promise made to David that his son would succeed him (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-13</a>). This transition marks a significant moment in Israel's monarchy, as Solomon's reign is characterized by peace and the building of the Temple in Jerusalem.<p><b>has taken his seat</b><br>The act of taking a seat on the throne symbolizes the official assumption of royal authority and power. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the throne was a symbol of the king's right to rule and his divine appointment. This moment signifies the beginning of Solomon's reign, which is marked by a divine endorsement, as seen in <a href="/1_kings/1-39.htm">1 Kings 1:39</a> when Zadok the priest anoints Solomon with oil, a common practice for consecrating kings.<p><b>on the royal throne.</b><br>The royal throne represents the continuity of David's dynasty, as promised by God. The throne is not just a physical seat but a symbol of the covenantal promise that David's line would endure (<a href="/2_samuel/7-16.htm">2 Samuel 7:16</a>). Solomon's enthronement is a fulfillment of this promise and a foreshadowing of the eternal throne of Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the "Son of David" (<a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1:1</a>). Solomon's reign, with its initial peace and prosperity, serves as a type of Christ's future kingdom, which will be characterized by ultimate peace and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The son of King David and Bathsheba, Solomon is anointed as king of Israel, succeeding his father David.
