⁴⁶ Solomon has now ·become the king [^Ltaken his seat on the royal throne]. ⁴⁷ All the ·king’s officers [royal officials/servants] have come to ·tell King David that he has done a good thing [congratulate/bless our lord King David]. They are saying, ‘May your God make ·Solomon [^LSolomon’s name] even more famous than ·you [^Lyour name] and ·an even greater king than you [^Lhis throne/reign greater than your throne/reign].’” Jonathan continued, “And King David bowed down on his ·bed to worship God [bed], ⁴⁸ saying, ‘Bless the Lord, the God of Israel. Today he has ·made one of my sons the king [^Lgranted one to sit on my throne] and allowed me to see it.’”
