Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - The abstinence on the part of the queen in her mention of the Lord God of Israel, and of the Lord thy God, of any indication of a desire that he should become her God, is as suggestive as it is noticeable (compare Hiram's language in 2 Chronicles 2:12).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) On his throne--i.e., Jehovah's throne. (Comp. 1Chronicles 28:5.) Kings has, "on the throne of Israel."To be king for the Lord thy God.--A further insistance on the idea that Solomon was but the vicegerent of Jehovah. The clause is added by the chronicler, but need not be called "an evidently wilful alteration" (Thenius).To establish.--This phrase is wanting in the Hebrew of Kings, but is probably original, as the LXX. there has it.
