Solomon was a king. In verses 10-15, he explains how kings and other rulers behave.

God has given authority to kings. Their decisions are important and affect many people. So a king must always be responsible.

At the time of King Solomon, the king was also a judge (see 1 Kings 3:16-28). This is why the king makes a ‘judgement’.

God rules the whole world, but a king rules a country. We must pray for kings and rulers (1 Timothy 2:2).
