Context — Adonijah Learns of Solomon’s Kingship
44And with Solomon, the king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the king’s mule.
45Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
46Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.
47The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the king has bowed in worship on his bed, 48saying, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel! Today He has provided one to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen it.’”Cross References

1 Kings 1:46 Summary
This verse, 1 Kings 1:46, tells us that Solomon has officially become the new king by taking his seat on the royal throne. This is a big deal because it shows that God is keeping His promise to David, as mentioned in 2 Samuel 7:12-13. Just like how David trusted God to make him king, we can trust God to guide us in our own lives, even when things seem uncertain or scary, just like it says in Psalm 23:4. By looking at how David and Solomon handled this transition, we can learn valuable lessons about leadership, trust, and faith.

Gill's Exposition on 1 Kings 1:46
And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom. Where he was placed to exercise his regal power when returned to Jerusalem, as a further token and confirmation of his being really and actually king.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 1:46
i.e. Is put into actual possession of the kingdom.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 1:46
1 Kings 1:46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.Ver. 46. And also Solomon sitteth.] He is in actual possession, and therefore you are lost. Every man is either a king or a captive; Aut Caesar, aut nullus. Either Caesar or no one. Every man, saith Augustine, shall either reign with Christ, or be damned with the devil.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 1:46
(46) And also Solomon sitteth.—Jonathan’s announcement here takes up the narrative of events after 1 Kings 1:40. The public enthronement in the palace (ordered by David in 1 Kings 1:35) follows the anointing and acceptance by the acclamations of the people, as an integral part of the inauguration of royalty.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 1:46
46. Solomon sitteth on the throne] Jonathan had seen the complete ceremony of installation, for on their return from Gihon the aged king had commanded that Solomon should shew himself seated in state on the royal throne.
