Contextual Overview
12 But, when, Solomon, took his seat upon the throne of David his father, then was the kingdom firmly established. 13 And Adonijah son of Haggith came in unto Bath-sheba, mother of Solomon: And she said - Peaceably, comest thou? And he said - Peaceably. 14 Then said he - I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said - Say on. 15 And he said - Thou, knowest that, mine, was the kingdom, and, on me, had all Israel set their faces, that I should become king, - howbeit the kingdom, hath turned about, and become my brother's, for, from Yahweh, became it, his. 16 Now, therefore, one request, have I to ask of thee, do not turn away my face. 17 And she said unto him - Say on. And he said - Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, for he will not turn away thy face, - that he give me Abishag the Shunammite, to wife. 18 And Bath-sheba said: Good! I myself, will speak for thee, unto the king. 19 So Bath-sheba went in unto King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah, - and the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself down to her, and sat down upon his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the mother of the king, and she sat on his right hand. 20 Then said she - One small request, am I asking of thee, do not turn away my face. And the king said to her - Ask on, my mother, for I will not turn away thy face. 21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother, to wife.

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.
