Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Kings 1:33

_ _ 1 Kings 1:33-49. Solomon, by David’s appointment, is anointed king.

_ _ cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule — Directions were forthwith given for the immediate coronation of Solomon. A procession was to be formed by the “servants of their lord” — that is, the king’s bodyguard. Mules were then used by all the princes (2 Samuel 13:29); but there was a state mule of which all subjects were forbidden, under pain of death, to make use, without special permission; so that its being granted to Solomon was a public declaration in his favor as the future king (see on Esther 6:8, Esther 6:9).

_ _ bring him down to Gihon — a pool or fountain on the west of Jerusalem (see on 2 Chronicles 32:30), chosen as equally public for the counter proclamation.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Kings 1:32-40.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 1:33

My mule — As a token that the royal dignity is transferred upon Solomon, and that by my consent. Gihon — A river near Jerusalem, on the west side. Adonijah was inaugurated on the east side. This place David chose, either, as remote from Adonijah and his company, that so the people might be there without fear of tumults or bloodshed; or, to shew that Solomon was chosen king in opposition to Adonijah: or, because this was a place of great resort, and fit to receive and display that numerous company, which he knew would follow Solomon thither.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

The king also said unto them, Take with you the (o) servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
