His lineage is significant as it fulfills God's promise to David that his descendants would sit on the throne of Israel (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>). Solomon's birth is a testament to God's grace, as he was born after the tumultuous events surrounding David and Bathsheba. His name, meaning "peace," reflects the era of peace and prosperity that characterized his reign. Solomon is also a type of Christ, as both are seen as kings of peace and wisdom.<p><b>established himself securely over his kingdom</b><br>Solomon's establishment over the kingdom signifies a period of stability and consolidation of power. This was not an automatic process; it involved political acumen and divine favor. The transition of power from David to Solomon was marked by challenges, including rival claims to the throne by Adonijah (<a href="/1_kings/1-5.htm">1 Kings 1:5-53</a>). Solomon's secure establishment is a fulfillment of God's promise to David and a reflection of divine providence in the governance of Israel.<p><b>and the LORD his God was with him</b><br>The presence of the LORD with Solomon is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, indicating divine approval and support. This phrase echoes the covenantal relationship between God and the kings of Israel, where obedience to God's commandments results in divine favor. The LORD's presence with Solomon is reminiscent of God's promise to be with David and his descendants (<a href="/1_kings/2-3.htm">1 Kings 2:3-4</a>). It underscores the importance of faithfulness to God for the success of a ruler.<p><b>and highly exalted him</b><br>Solomon's exaltation is both a divine act and a recognition of his wisdom and leadership. His exaltation is seen in the wealth, wisdom, and influence he attained, making him renowned among the nations (<a href="/1_kings/10-23.htm">1 Kings 10:23-24</a>). This exaltation is a precursor to the ultimate exaltation of Jesus Christ, who is the greater Son of David, exalted above all (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>). Solomon's reign is a foreshadowing of the peace and prosperity that will characterize the Messianic kingdom.<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 known for his wisdom, wealth, and building the First Temple in Jerusalem.

But the verb in its present form (hithp. conjugation) is found in Chronicles, omitting other books, just fifteen times, and rarely, if ever, to the level of the mere passive voice. It carries rather the idea of a person who exerts himself, and does all that in him lies <span class="accented">to nerve himself</span> with strength for any object (<a href="/1_chronicles/11-10.htm">1 Chronicles 11:10</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/19-13.htm">1 Chronicles 19:13</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/12-13.htm">2 Chronicles 12:13</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/13-7.htm">2 Chronicles 13:7, 8, 21</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/15-8.htm">2 Chronicles 15:8</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/16-9.htm">2 Chronicles 16:9</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/17-1.htm">2 Chronicles 17:1</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/21-4.htm">2 Chronicles 21:4</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/23-1.htm">2 Chronicles 23:1</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/25-11.htm">2 Chronicles 25:11</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/27-6.htm">2 Chronicles 27:6</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/32-5.htm">2 Chronicles 32:5</a>).

The parallels of this very simple and natural expression are too numerous for quotation.

The beautiful New Testament equivalent occurs in <a href="/2_thessalonians/3-16.htm">2 Thessalonians 3:16</a>, and elsewhere. Like some other of those earliest concisest religious expressions, brevity and simplicity are fully charged with suggestion. And the above quotations will be found to furnish examples of the manifold practical use of the Lord's <span class="accented">presence</span> with any one. That presence may infer the help just of companionship, or of sure sympathy, or of needed counsel, or of strength in the hour of temptation, or of absolute practical help, or of the highest revealings of faith. The whole circle of need, of human and Christian need, the Divine presence "will supply" (<a href="/philippians/4-19.htm">Philippians 4:19</a>). The "need" of Solomon in his present position was patent and pressing. Would that he had always kept by the true supply of it! <span class="cmt_word">Magnified him exceedingly</span>.
