Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Worshipped the Lord, and the king - The same outward signs of reverence were accorded by the customs of the Jews (as of the Oriental nations generally) to God and to their monarchs (see 1 Kings 1:31). But the application of the terms to both in the same passage, which occurs nowhere in Scripture but here, is thought to indicate a time when a long servitude under despotic lords had orientalized men's mode of speech.

Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Worshipped the Lord, and the king - They did reverence to God as the supreme Ruler, and to the king as his deputy.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And David said to all the congregation,.... Consisting of princes, captains, and officers, 1 Chronicles 28:1.

now bless the Lord your God; as he had done, for putting it into the power of their hands, and into their hearts, to do what they had:

and all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers; some one as the mouth of the rest put up a thanksgiving to God, as David directed, to which they all assented, and in which they all joined:

and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord and the king; the one with religious worship, the other with civil; the Syriac and Arabic versions more plainly distinguish, "they worshipped the Lord, and blessed David the king"; though some think Solomon, now made king, is meant.

Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

Close of the public assembly. - 1 Chronicles 29:20. At the conclusion of the prayer, David calls upon the whole assembly to praise God; which they do, bowing before God and the king, and worshipping. וישׁתּחווּ יקּדוּ, connected as in Exodus 4:31; Genesis 43:28, etc.

Geneva Study Bible

And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the {l} king.

(l) That is, revered the king.

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.

Exodus 4:31 and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.

Joshua 22:33 They were glad to hear the report and praised God. And they talked no more about going to war against them to devastate the country where the Reubenites and the Gadites lived.

1 Kings 8:15 Then he said: "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his own hand has fulfilled what he promised with his own mouth to my father David. For he said,

Ezekiel 46:10 The prince is to be among them, going in when they go in and going out when they go out.
