1 Re 10:19

The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne [was] round behind: and [there were] stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.

Ver. 19. The throne had six steps.] Whereby when the king ascended to his throne, he was imminded both of his dignity and duty; since Sedes prima et vita ima, would be incongruous and reproachful.

And the top of the throne, &c.] The canopy encircled the king's head, for his greater ease and state, and to note God's protection.

E ci sono stati soggiorni. ] Ebr., Mani, su cui appoggiare le braccia.

E due leoni stavano accanto ai sostegni. ] Per mostrare che il suo trono non dovrebbe essere facilmente ribaltato.
