Intertextuality Pair

1 Kings 1:46 → 2 Samuel 6:17

Echo

Later text

1 Kings 1:46BSB

Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne.

Earlier text

2 Samuel 6:17BSB

So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

Significance

In 1 Kings 1:46, Solomon has already taken his seat on the royal throne (כִּסֵּא הַמְּלוּכָה, kisse hammeluchah), and David bows in worship from his bed. The connection to 2 Samuel 6:17 recalls that David first established Jerusalem as a place of throne and altar together — the ark set in its tent alongside burnt offerings and peace offerings. Solomon's enthronement thus fulfills the dual purpose David created for Jerusalem: a city where the Davidic king rules and where Yahweh is worshiped, both institutions now passing from David to his chosen successor.

Reference Type: Echo
Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — Solomon's session on the royal throne (1 Kings 1:46) advances what 2 Samuel 6:17 founded: David made Jerusalem the city of both throne and altar by setting the ark in its tent beside burnt offerings and peace offerings, and the succession now carries that dual establishment forward intact, the kingdom and the worship of Yahweh passing together to the son who will house both in the temple.
