1 Kings1:35
35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead ; and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel, and over Judah .
My Deputy and Vice-King whilst I live, and absolutely King when I die. Or, if David and Solomon were Joint-Kings, it is no more than was afterwards frequent at Rome, where the Father and Son, or two other persons were not seldom Joint-Emperors.
And that by Divine direction.
This is added, partly, as being the most Eminent and Royal Tribe, it being frequent, together with the general distinction, to mention one of the most eminent particulars, as 1 King. 11. 1. Psal. 18. title. Mark 16. 7. and partly, lest the men of Iudah, who were in a special manner invited by Adonijah, v. 9. might think themselves exempted from his Jurisdiction.
