Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then sat Solomon on the throne of David his father,.... So he did in his lifetime, with his consent, and by his order, and now by the agreement of the whole people:

and his kingdom was established greatly; all submitting to it, and none opposing it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “establishment” of the kingdom here intended is probably its universal acceptance both by the tribe of Judah and the other Israelites.
