Then ye shall come up after him, that he may sit on my throne Ye shall attend upon him to Jerusalem, and give him actual possession of the throne. For he shall be king in my stead My deputy and vice-king while I live, and absolutely king when I die. Over Israel and over Judah The latter clause is added, lest the men of Judah, who were in a special manner invited by Adonijah, (1 Kings 1:9,) should think themselves exempted from his jurisdiction. And Benaiah said, Amen They all said the same, (1 Kings 1:47,) not doubting but God would establish his authority.
