And David said to all the congregation, etc.] Consisting of princes, captains, and officers, (<132801>1 Chronicles 28:1) now bless the Lord your God; as he had done, for putting it into the power of their hands, and into their hearts, to do what they had: and all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers; some one as the mouth of the rest put up a thanksgiving to God, as David directed, to which they all assented, and in which they all joined: and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord and the king; the one with religious worship, the other with civil; the Syriac and Arabic versions more plainly distinguish, “they worshipped the Lord, and blessed David the king”; though some think Solomon, now made king, is meant.
