1 Chronicles 29:22 -

Evident stress is laid upon the eating and drinking of that day as before the Lord , and upon the anointing of Solomon to the Lord. This latter expression is more forcible than the former. The second time of making Solomon king is explained by 1 Kings 1:32-40 ; 1 Chronicles 23:1 . The statement that Zadok was anointed to be priest must probably be understood to describe, either the re-anointing of him (just as "they made Solomon king the second time") on an occasion which particularly invited it; or an anointing which had not been before fully performed. This latter is, perhaps, an unlikely supposition; but at the same time, the fact of any previous ceremony of the kind does not happen to be narrated. Zadok had been joint priest with Abiatbar of the line of Ithamar ( 1 Chronicles 15:11 ; 2 Samuel 24:1-25 , 29; 2 Samuel 19:11 ); but now he was anointed under circumstances of special publicity, and at a crisis of special interest, to supersede Abiathar. who had sided with Adonijah, and who was early to be removed altogether from the sacred office ( 1 Kings 1:7 , 1 Kings 1:8 , 1 Kings 1:32 , 1 Kings 1:38 , 1 Kings 1:44 , 1 Kings 1:45 ; 1 Kings 2:26 , 1 Kings 2:27 ).
