Context — Solomon Anointed King
21The next day they offered sacrifices and presented burnt offerings to the LORD: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest.
23So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
24All the officials and mighty men, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon. 25The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.Cross References

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 29:23
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. As king of Israel, he was the Lord's vicegerent.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:23
On the throne of the Lord, i.e. on the throne of Israel, which is called the throne of the Lord, either more generally, as all thrones are the Lord’ s, by whom kings reign, , and magistrates are ordained, ,2; or more specially and peculiarly; either, 1. Because the Lord himself was in a peculiar manner the King and Governor of Israel, not only in the time of the judges, but afterward, 89:18 149:2 . Or, 2. Because it was the throne of Christ the Lord, whose vicegerents David, and Solomon, and their successors were, for whom this throne was reserved, and by whom it was to be established and enjoyed for ever, ,33. Or, 3. The throne of the Lord is put for the throne of the people of the Lord, by a concise and short manner of speech, which is frequent in the Hebrew language; as when the key of David is put for the key of the house of David; and the mountain of the Lord, for the mountain of the Lord’ s house. Or, 4. Because this throne fell to Solomon not by right of inheritance, for he had elder brethren, but by the special appointment and gift of the Lord. And so this of the Lord is the genitive case of the efficient, as the learned call it, and signifies which the Lord gave him.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:23
1 Chronicles 29:23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.Ver. 23. Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord.] Every royal throne is the Lord’ s; for he is King of kings, and all kings are a Deo aut missi, aut permissi, God’ s substitutes. But the throne of Israel was the Lord’ s by a specialty. Josephus calleth that commonwealth a Theocracy, or God government; and the people were called Judge; as Prosper conceiteth - because they received ius Dei, a law given by God, who himself was sovereign Lord and law giver. Solomon also, sitting upon this throne, was a lively type of the Lord Christ and his kingdom. And prospered.] This was the fruit of his father’ s fervent prayers for him.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:23
(23) Then.—And. Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord.—Comp. 1 Chronicles 28:5. As king instead of David his father.—It is not meant that David abdicated. 1 Chronicles 29:23-25 are anticipative of the history of Solomon’s reign. At the same time, their introduction here is natural, not only as relating the immediate sequel of Solomon’s coronation, but also as showing how David’s last wishes in regard to his son were realised.
