1 Kings 1:48

And also thus said the king, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing [it].

Ver. 48. To sit on my throne this day.] Nevertheless David did not during his life wholly lay aside the kingly power; but gave it to his son whilst he was yet alive.
