Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 29:25

"And Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel." — 1 Chronicles 29:25 (ASV)

And bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel. —Literally, and put upon him a glory of kingship that had not come to be on any king over Israel before him. The phrase “put glory upon ...” (nâthan hôd ‘al ...) occurs in Psalms 8:2. Only two or, counting Ish-bosheth, three kings had preceded Solomon. (Compare to 1 Kings 3:12; 2 Chronicles 1:12.)
