• At the beginning of this chapter, David makes Solomon king of Israel (1 Chron. 23:1); in 1 Chron. 29:22, he is made king for the second time. This event, mentioned only in Chronicles, thereby takes on a special importance. In 1 Kings 1, Solomon is anointed, so to say, at the last moment of David's reign, when the life of the latter, like a candle-end about to die out, was still throwing off a feeble glow, and the old king was lacking the strength to make a prompt, manly decision according to God.... In the book of Kings David is responsible to appoint Solomon king according to God's order and would have, we can clearly see, failed in this responsibility, had God not intervened (see 1 Kings 1). (“Solomon Established King - the Levites: 1 Chronicles 23” by H.L. Rossier)
• Chronicles presents an entirely different order of thought. When God's grace, which had been glorified over against judgment, had been proclaimed at Oman's altar upon Moriah, the reign of peace could be instituted, for peace depends upon grace. Once the victim's death has intervened, the sacrifice becomes the basis of all blessing, righteousness is satisfied, grace has stopped judgment, and peace is made. (“Solomon Established King - the Levites: 1 Chronicles 23” by H.L. Rossier)
• In ...chapters {23-27} we {will see| the religious and civil system established by Jehovah by means of the authority conferred by Him upon David. This system does not resemble the order of things established by Moses, although it does not in any way contradict it. Neither the priests, nor the Levites, nor the singers, nor the doorkeepers, nor the army are organized as in the past. Everything is new; everything depends upon the king who establishes them according to lot, that is to say, under the immediate direction of the Lord. (“Solomon, the King According to the Counsels of God: 1 Chronicles 28” by H.L. Rossier)
