Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20-25) The sacrificial feast and anointing of Solomon.(20) Now bless.--Bless ye, I pray. The "now" is not a note of time, but of entreaty.Blessed the Lord God of their fathers.--Probably using a liturgical formula, like the doxologies which close the books of the Psalter (Psalm 41:13; Psalm 72:18-19; Psalm 89:52, &c).And bowed down their heads.--Or, and bowed. Vulg., inclinaverunt se; LXX. here, ????????? ?? ??????, bending the knees; but usually ????????, stooping, bowing.Worshipped.--Prostrated themselves. LXX., ????????????. The two expressions "bowed and worshipped" are always united, as here (save in 2Chronicles 20:18. Comp. Genesis 24:26; Exodus 12:27). The Syriac renders, "fell down and worshipped." . . .
