What is the significance of the location Gihon in this verse?
Gihon is a location near Jerusalem where Solomon was anointed as king, and it holds symbolic importance as a place of spiritual renewal and cleansing, similar to the waters of Gihon in 2 Chronicles 32:30, and it may also be a reminder of God's promise to David in 2 Samuel 23:1-7.
How does this verse relate to the concept of God's sovereignty?
This verse demonstrates God's sovereignty in the establishment of Solomon as king, as stated in Proverbs 21:1, where it is written that the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, and He turns it wherever He wishes, highlighting God's ultimate control over human affairs.
What can we learn from the reaction of the people in this verse?
The people's joyful reaction to Solomon's anointing as king, as seen in 1 Kings 1:45, teaches us the importance of rejoicing in God's sovereign appointments and plans, as expressed in Psalm 100:1-5, where we are called to shout for joy and worship God with gladness.
Reflection Questions

Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 1:45
1 Kings 1:45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This [is] the noise that ye have heard.Ver. 45. This is the noise that ye have heard.] A doleful knell to those who had feasted and boasted themselves in a jocund security and promise of success. "A dreadful sound is in their ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon them. Trouble and anguish maketh them afraid, whilst they prevail against them as a king ready to the battle."
