2 Chronicles 9:8

King for the Lord, i.e. in the Lord's name and stead, both in general, because all kings have and hold their kingdoms from God, and act as his viceregents and deputies; and in a special manner, because he sat in God's own throne and ruled over God's peculiar people, and did in a singular and eminent manner maintain the honour and worship of God in his land, and in the eyes of all the world besides.
