1 Kings10:19
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.
Made like the half of a Circle.
These and the following Lions seem added, to express either the Tribe from which Solomon sprung, compared to a Lion, Gen. 49. 9. or rather, that Majesty and Power where with a Prince is adorned and armed, which his Subjects cannot resist; or, the Duty of a Prince in the execution of Judgment, which ought to be done with great courage and magnanimity.
Marginal references: Heb. on the hinder part thereof.; Heb. hands.
