Wesley's Notes

29:20 Worshipped - The Lord with religious, and the king with civil worship.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

20. all the congregation . worshipped the Lord, and the king-Though the external attitude might be the same, the sentiments of which it was expressive were very different in the two cases-of divine worship in the one, of civil homage in the other.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

29:20-25 This great assembly joined with David in adoring God. Whoever is the mouth of the congregation, those only have the benefit who join him, not by bowing down the head, so much as by lifting up the soul. Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. Solomon's kingdom typified the kingdom of the Messiah, whose throne is the throne of the Lord.
