They made Solomon - king the second time - The first time of his being anointed and proclaimed king was when his brother Adonijah affected the throne; and Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah anointed and proclaimed him in a hurry, and without pomp. See 1Ki 1:

a thousand bulls, a thousand rams

on 1 Chronicles 29:21-22

The sacrifices, “a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings”, are made “for all Israel” at once. Solomon is designated king “for a second time”, which Adam Clarke ties to the hurried anointing during Adonijah's attempt in 1 Kings 1.

This site's exposition

ate and drank with great joy

The assembly ate and drank with great joy before the LORD. They made Solomon king for a second time, and Zadok was anointed as priest. Adam Clarke explains the first anointing as the hurried one of 1 Kings 1, done when Adonijah reached for the throne.

before the Lord--either in the immediate vicinity of the ark, or, perhaps, rather in a religious and devout spirit, as partaking of a sacrificial meal. made Solomon . . . king the second time--in reference to the first time, which was done precipitately on Adonijah's conspiracy (1Ki 1:35). they . . . anointed . . .

King the second time - Solomon’s first appointment was at the time of Adonijah’s rebellion (marginal reference). As that appointment was hurried and, comparatively speaking, private, David now thought it best formally to invest Solomon a second time with the sovereignty, in the face of all Israel. For a similar reason a second and public appointment of Zadok alone to the high priest’s office took place. Abiathar was not as yet absolutely thrust out; but it may be doubtful whether he was ever allowed to perform high priestly functions after his rebellion 1Ki 1:7; 1Ki 2:27.
