All the leaders and mighty men
This phrase highlights the unity and collective support of Israel's leadership for Solomon's kingship. The Hebrew word for "leaders" is "נְשִׂיאִים" (nasi'im), which often refers to tribal chiefs or princes. The "mighty men" or "גִּבּוֹרִים" (gibborim) were renowned warriors, known for their valor and loyalty. Historically, these figures were crucial in maintaining the stability and security of the kingdom. Their allegiance to Solomon signifies a smooth transition of power, which was essential for the continuation of David's legacy and the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel.

as well as all of King David’s sons
This phrase underscores the familial support Solomon received. David had many sons, and the potential for rivalry was significant. The Hebrew term "בָּנִים" (banim) simply means "sons," but in this context, it implies a broader sense of family unity. The support of David's sons was vital in preventing internal strife and ensuring a peaceful succession. This unity among David's offspring reflects the divine favor and wisdom bestowed upon Solomon, as well as the respect for David's wishes.

pledged their allegiance
The act of pledging allegiance, or "נָתַן יָד" (natan yad) in Hebrew, literally means "to give the hand." This was a formal and solemn act of loyalty and submission. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, such gestures were binding and carried significant weight. This pledge was not merely a political formality but a spiritual commitment to uphold God's chosen leader. It signifies a covenantal relationship, echoing the biblical theme of faithfulness and obedience to God's ordained authority.

to King Solomon
The focus on "King Solomon" emphasizes the legitimacy and divine approval of his reign. Solomon, or "שְׁלֹמֹה" (Shlomo) in Hebrew, means "peaceful," reflecting the peace and prosperity associated with his rule. His kingship was a fulfillment of God's promise to David, as seen in 1 Chronicles 22:9-10, where God assures David that Solomon will build the temple and establish a lasting dynasty. Solomon's reign is often seen as a golden age for Israel, marked by wisdom, wealth, and widespread influence. This verse, therefore, not only highlights the political and social dynamics of the time but also serves as a testament to God's faithfulness in establishing His chosen leaders.

(24) And all the princes (s?rim).--The grandees of 1Chronicles 27:1-34; 1Chronicles 28:1; 1Chronicles 29:6; not members of the royal house, who are designated as "the king's sons."

Submitted themselves.--See marginal rendering. The Vulg. has the exegetical expansion, "dederunt manum et subjeeti fuerunt Salomoni regi." The Hebrew phrase "put (n?than) hand under . . ." is not met with elsewhere. (Comp. Genesis 24:2; Genesis 24:9.) It appears to be different from "give hand to . . ." in token of good faith or submission. (Comp. 2Chronicles 30:8; Lamentations 5:6; Ezekiel 17:18.) An ancient mode of doing homage may be intended. The whole sentence may contain an allusive reference to the attempt of Adonijah (1Kings 1:5-53). . . .
