What Does 1 Kings 10:18 Mean?
The narrative turns to the throne itself. Solomon constructs a great throne of ivory and overlays it with the best gold. Ivory and fine gold together make it the most splendid seat in the known world, a fitting place from which a wise king dispenses judgment and justice.
The throne is the seat of rule and of justice, and its magnificence proclaims the dignity of the office God established. Every earthly throne, however glorious, points beyond itself to the throne of God, established in righteousness, from which the King of kings will reign and judge with perfect equity forever.
