We can learn from this verse that God is sovereign and that we should trust in His plan, just as Solomon trusted in God's plan for his life, as seen in 1 Kings 3:5-15.

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 29:25
And the Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly before all Israel,.... By giving him such a large share of wisdom and understanding in government: and bestowed upon him such royal majesty; not only such
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 29:25
And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:25
Such royal majesty, i.e. such honour and reputation, together with power and riches, and all things which snake a king great and glorious. Any king; either David or Saul, or any of the former governors of Israel, the word king being oft used in a large sense for any governor.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:25
1 Chronicles 29:25 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.Ver. 25. And the Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly.] Summe; Heb., Sursum; setting him aloft. As had not been on any king before him in Israel.] God had done the like - but not in like mercy - for Nebuchadnezzar, but especially for Trajan, who raised the Roman empire unto the very highest pitch of glory, and spread the power of their command into the largest circuit that ever before or since hath been possessed.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29:25
(25) And bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.—Literally, and put upon him a glory of kingship that had not become on any king over Israel before him. The phrase “put glory upon . . .” (nâthan hôd ‘al . . .) occurs in Psalms 8:2. Only two or, counting Ish-bosheth, three kings had preceded Solomon. (Comp. 1 Kings 3:12; 2 Chronicles 1:12.)
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 29:25
25. such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel] The rather awkward Heb. phrase must be translated by rather awkward English; render, Royal majesty which was not on any king more than on him in lsrael; i.e. the majesty of Solomon was not exceeded by that of any other king of Israel. The Heb. word here translated before is sometimes used to express comparison without reference to time; cp. Job 34:19, “nor regardeth [he] the rich more than the poor.” According to A.V. the comparison is between Solomon on the one side, and his three predecessors only (David, Ish-bosheth, and Saul) on the other.
