Definitions for 1-kings 1:34
Clarke's 1-kings 1:34 Bible Commentary
Blow ye with the trumpet - After he has been anointed, make proclamation that he is king.
Barnes's 1-kings 1:34 Bible Commentary
Anoint him - Inauguration into each of the three offices (those of prophet, priest, and king) typical of the Messiah or Anointed One, was by anointing with oil. Divine appointment had already instituted the rite in connection with the kingly office 2 Samuel 2:4; but after Solomon we have no express mention of the anointing of kings, except in the three cases of Jehu, Joash, and Jehoahaz 2 Kings 9:6; 2 Kings 11:12; 2 Kings 23:30, who were all appointed irregularly. At the time of the captivity, kings, whose anointing has not been related in the historical books, still bear the title of "the anointed of the Lord." Lamentations 4:20; Psalm 89:38, Psalm 89:51.
Wesley's 1-kings 1:34 Bible Commentary
1:34 Anoint - As they used to do where there was any thing new or extraordinary in the succession. And this unction signified both thedesignation of the persons to the office, and the gifts and graces whichwere necessary for their office, and which, they, seeking them sincerelyfrom God, might expect to receive.
